[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 706528, member: 26800"] Matthew, I am not telling you what you should specifically about this situation, however I will tell you that you need to do the right thing for yourself and those that care about you. That means you need to do what is right to get yourself healed. This needs to be a priority. Now to the specifics. I am not going to tell you what to do, but I will tell you what I would in your situation, based upon the information that you have given me. You need to make the decision as to how to proceed in your individual case. It is your body. Step 1 I would gather any documentation that I have about the injury. If I did not document the original injury day by day then I would write up a report for myself to explain the history of the injury and where I physically stand today. I would make the report as simple yet as detailed as possible. I would then document how I handle the injury daily. I would make a file just for this injury. Step 2 If I haven't reported this injury or recurrence yet then I would do this immediately. I would do this in writing. I would make 3 copies and I would give one to my Union Steward , my Hourly Co-Chair of my safety committee and one to my immediate supervisor. Step 3 I would make sure that I get copies of any injury reports that UPS files and I would make sure I get the claim# and keep all of this together in the file for this injury that was made in step one. Step 4 I would make sure that I let the doctors be the doctors and just follow my treatment plan to a fault. I would not deviate from the treatment or restrictions, not one bit. Step 5 Once I have my medical plan in place I would seek counsel from a worker's compensation attorney. I would do this immediately after my diagnosis and treatment plan are in place. Step 6 If I have [B]any [/B]questions or concerns during this process I would make sure I put them in writing and I would, in as much as possible, get the response in writing. I would document all responses. This pretty much covers what I would do. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
