[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 402186, member: 12570"] It sounds as though you followed the correct procedure when you first got injured by documenting the injury and then going to a doctor for treatment. You have the right to go the doctor of your choosing for treatment but may have to go to the company doctor in order to be cleared to return to work, although I have had several injuries and have always used the clearance form from his office or from the hospital to return to work and it has never been an issue. It doesn't sound like it was a lost time injury but if you are still experiencing discomfort 1 year later you are wise to follow up with more treatment. If you don't feel that you current doctor is treating this injury properly by just prescribing muscle relaxants than seek another opinion and be sure to provide all documentation to your supervisor.
