[QUOTE="SlavetoUPS, post: 343741, member: 15494"] Think long and hard about what you want to do with your life, I have a buldging disc going into my nerve and disc degenration below that. My lifting ability has been cut back by alot lifting 65 lbs puts me down for awhile, those used to never be a problem for me. Every specialist I have seen said find a different job and strengthen your core muscles and you should be fine. They want to cut my back open or stick a needle in my spine and inject steriods, but after talking to several people who have done both the success rate was not good. So I have gone through a FCE to see if I can do my job and basically I can not with out alot of breaks. I tell this UPS is (or was ) a good company but it changes every year for the worse. There are plenty of jobs out there if you can't go back, do what you think is best for you not them. If you go workers compensation be prepared for alot of BS, and make sure you file a claim through the state where you work. :dissapointed: [/QUOTE]
