[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 320733, member: 14003"] There is a time limit on filing a work comp claim. 2 years here. Work comp laws vary from state to state. I have ruptured the same disc twice and had surgery both times on UPS' dime. My last one was 4 years ago. I decided that instead of waiting around for injury and surgery number 3(which would most likely be fusion), I would go to a chiro and try to head off any problems before they start! I have been going for 2 months now and my back is feeling better now than before! I figured with my previous problems I was beyond chiro help but I was wrong. My advice is to give a chiro a try. If it doesn't help, quit going. UPS insurance pays 80% of it. I think I pay about $11 per visit. I have also been advised by 2 doctors to get out of pkg car and go into feeders. It would be easier on the body and if I were to hurt my back again and have surgery, it would be much easier to get back to work as a feeder driver. UPS would probably try to get rid of me as a pkg car driver saying I couldn't do the job anymore. [/QUOTE]
