Thank you for your help--now I have another situation I hope someone will be able to help with? When I fell out of school bus in March 2009 I hurt many parts; my back was the worse. I have been receiving treatment and WC is taking care of. Went back to work for 2 1/2 months in pain could barely walk. I will be receiving shots in back next week and still receiving monthly check for wages.(light duty not available)
Also original fall bruised right wrist they x-rayed nothing showed (that's a good thing) still only concerned about back due to pain.
Well I wore a brace on my right hand for a few weeks-noticed some discomfort especially when raising very difficult windows and grasping onto the steering wheel in both wrists. Still my back hurt me the most so I ignored hands thinking it was just due to old age! 65
Well I have been swimming to strengthen my back PT said I should-But now my wrists, thumbs fingers are tingling, falling asleep and really hurting much more then before so now I think maybe there is a problem. When first happened I only complained about right hand-so I dont know what to to about left?? maybe it was or not hurt?
My question is could this be job related-I feel so guilty to add another problem to WC-I just know they think I am lying I AM NOT. The IC said due to some neck problems in the past this could be the problem and said I should use my own INS. I am covered another 3 months due to FMLA leave.
I know some have you have gone through so much and I feel terrible for your pain-So now i am worried because my hands are so bad they hurt almost as bad as my back. I THINK I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF NEVER GOING BACK TO WORK. But needed to help my husband and thought it would be a good thing but now I am just a drain on society.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP L
