Hi,
I was injured while on package car, got an MRI and there are several other issues the MRI brought to light such as Herniated disc and some joint issues where hip joint is rubbing on bone, water on joint, and some others issues that were not expected and have compounded my injury. My question is if the doctor tells me that this will only get worse with this job what can be done? I like my job and pay, but I do not want to be in physical pain the rest of my life or become where it is even hard to walk. It is already hurting to walk BTW. I know I could go feeder, but that is not me, I get extremely sleepy when sitting for long periods, I am afraid I would be a danger in that position. Could I revert back to working in the HUB and keep my pay rate? Could I maybe run some less demanding routes? I am just trying to figure out all options before I speak with Supervisor on the issue. I am really not sure what to do, if I lost this job, it would be nearly impossible to find something I could do that pays this good.
