[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 814260, member: 18708"] My doctor did not give any restrictions. UPS will not allow me to return to work until my doctor OKs a return to work. My doctor did not take me out of work, though. I could not and cannot perform the work so I booked off and saw my doctor. That is the only visit I've had. I did not mention whether it was on the job, off the job, or anything other than the pain I have been having. I've had aching pain in my left knee for several years, starting in maybe 2008? It was tolerable and temporary, only lasting a few hours to maybe a day and only occuring once to two times a month. 6 mo ago was attacked by dog, while delivering. He not only got into my knee because I "let" him, naive to the fact it would actually run and bite me. It caused me to have to "jar" or twist when I tried to kick him off/away of me after the fact. Since that incident (aside the couple days of pain from the bites), gradually, the knee has become twice as difficult to deal with. some days - for ex, where I cannot get up from a sitting or kneeling/stooped position without having to use support of both arms. This pain was diagnosed as a syndrome where muscle tissue in the knee is weak and the rubbing of the kneecap against bone (or ligament? not sure) causes pain to flare up. I'm confident this is work related, not only the wearing of the knee/kneecap/muscle but the accident where I bitten on the front/side of knee and was forced to react in an awkward way. The problem with FMLA and STD is that those are meant for those who are hurt outside of work, or have extenuating medical conditions. This is not either of those, so it would seem like the wrong thing to do. UPS would love that as it would hide another injury ( currently they are covering up several work-related injuries to prevent lost time, as always.) [/QUOTE]
