[QUOTE="slipbob, post: 4158327, member: 77598"] Hello all. I'm a newbie here but a 32 year UPSer. In January I fell while making a delivery in the snow. I immediately informed my supervisor and returned to the building. They sent me right away to an Urgent Care facility which did nothing but give me some pain meds. The following day I went to my Primary Care doctor who referred me to a pain specialist. The specialist ordered an MRI but Liberty Mutual wouldn't agree to it. After 2 months I finally had the MRI which according to the radiologist show 2 herniated discs and moderate to severe nerve compression. Liberty Mutual sent me for an IME. The IME doctor agreed with the MRI results and suggested injections. Fast forward to today and I have had 2 series of epidural injections and countless PT sessions. I have been dealing with sciatica and low back pain the entire time. The injections have given some relief but I'm nowhere near where I would like to be. Given the dynamics of being a delivery driver I know I am currently unable to do the job. I do have an attorney and am looking for any information of what to expect from Liberty Mutual and UPS. I'm too young to retire but at this point I have my doubts about my future with UPS. How do they determine if and when I'm able to return to my job? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
