[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1980241, member: 52978"] The fact that your supervisor let you take off a couple of days in September to let it "heal up" tells me you notified management of your injury. They will try and say you did it away from work to keep from paying a comp claim. I basically did the same thing as you, only with my shoulder. Hurt it late one night towards the end of my shift. Didn't hurt too bad. Next morning I couldn't lift my arm. They asked me why I didn't report it when I did it, and I said I didn't think it was serious at the time. I ended up on TAW for several months, and taking therapy, it didn't heal. My Dr ordered surgery and then I went on comp. In my opinion you are entitled to workman's comp. And it also my impression you can go to a doctor of YOUR choice initially. You will be required to visit the company doctor eventually. Don't let the company bully or intimidate you. Also, while stuff like timelines and names are fresh in your mind, document everything you can remember by writing it down. I should have filled out at the very least a precautionary injury report, but I didn't. Luckily it worked out for me. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
