[QUOTE="hoser, post: 158608, member: 6357"] I had a similar issue with swelling (allergic reaction to a wasp sting) and i could feel the puss. Two doctors said specifically [B]not[/B] to drain it. That'll do nothing but cause infection. I'm suprised a doctor would give you surface cream for a bone/muscle injury. Any doctor with half a brain knows that crap doesn't work, it's a placebo, ice is 10X more effective. And if you're in pain, what the hell are you doing on the ramp, man1?! Don't your labor laws (let alone that union thing you pay 3x hours into every month) allow you to refuse work if you're friend'n hurt? Where I live, they have to at least provide accomdation, so if you can stand but not walk for long periods, they'd put you on the FMC, if you can't walk without pain, they'd make you keep the pushback trailer warm. If I were in your situation where I couldn't walk, I'd insist on being accomdated. If not, I'd walk and return when healed (or accomodated). Firing you for refusing to work while injured is something judges are sympathetic to and labor lawyers drool over. They'll push you around if you allow them to push you around. [/QUOTE]
