[QUOTE="theUPSman, post: 745634, member: 15870"] I'm a preloader and have been out of work since September 2009 due to a torn labrum in my right shoulder. This injury was not filed through workman's comp as I didn't feel pain until a Sunday. I don't do any other physical activity so I'm sure I was hurt at work. Anyway, I had 4 months of Phys. Therapy and 1 month of personal training, continuing to strengthen and work out on my own. My orthopedist has said I have multi-directional instability in both shoulders, and strongly suggests that I do not work for UPS loading/driving as injury may reoccur. I have a 20 lb. lifting restriction overhead. If UPS says I can't perform the job requirements and I can't return to preload, what should I do? I would still like to work for the company in another capacity if possible. [/QUOTE]
