[QUOTE="Dizzee, post: 519362, member: 12313"] 20 years ago I herniated a disc in my upper back also, T-10, T-11. Time healed mine. Missed a year and a half of work. Took one year to get UPS to authorize an MRI. For that first year, it was treated as a muscle strain. It bothered me off and on, for about seven or eight years. I was very, very, lucky that UPS didn't deny the claim. They used to deny almost all of them, and, make you fight for it. I worked with a guy that went years, without a dime from comp. He went to various United Way agencies for help when he was on the verge of losing his home and had no money for food. He was married with five kids. They all denied him, based on the fact he was not working, because of a comp claim. Needless to say, nobody says a word to him about donating, when United Way time comes around now. On a side note: The back specialist, reportedly, one of the best in the country, was convinced that I had a skydiving accident, when he read my MRI results. Said he had only seen ten or so examples of disc injuries in that location, and, they were all from hitting the ground too hard while skydiving. :knockedout: [/QUOTE]
