why don't you discuss it with your employer? if the employer has any doubts they can request a fitness for duty evaluation. you could also take a job description to the doctor at the time of the rating and have them ok your duties

yes, treatment for the injury is covered. as with anything there could be a dispute about it's relationship to the injury.
temporary disability is limited to 104 weeks within 5 yrs of the date of injury.
aggravations are considered a new injury and you can file another claim.
most other insurance excludes workplace injuries unless it's denied by workers comp so yes they would cover it with a work comp denial.

thankyou

Work was satisfied with it and so was the dr at that time.. The only problem that evolved was even though my duties never changed but the amount and pace increased. With that being said, I reinjured my back and was taken off work. Since then it has been a battle with employer and wc saying I am able to return. Now I have no income and is being ran through the court awaiting the date.

I say this just to warn you of what could happen if you are returned to work with no restrictions........ Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your experience through this...it is alot to think about and consider, it makes me darn mad that this happened in the first place...i have alot to think about.
