[QUOTE="hseofpayne, post: 359234"] I have been thru the 2 level ACDF surgery 3 months ago and am waiting to start work hardening program. We have been arguing with Liberty Mutual over where I would do this program; they are trying to force me to go to a different Phy Therapist than I have used for 2 years. It has been almost a month now since I had any therapy, you know, the E-stim, stretching, massaging, etc that you get after surgery. I am starting to hurt again, too, mostly just stiffening back up, losing neck flexibility. I can't imagine what it must be like to just be thrown to the wolves right away. There was a guy on here who went back to work after surgery but at a gradually increasing pace. His doctor worked out a return to work plan that eased him back into driving, starting off inside bldg, then 4 hrs in bldg,4 hrs running misloads or something like that, and then 8 hr max driving. All of this took about 4 weeks I think, I am not sure. If I were you, I would go back to the doc, tell him what you are feeling. I want to make it back to drive, too, but no amount of money is worth be crippled over. I hope you have a lawyer and I hope you didn't settle b4 you went back to work. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
