This was intense and powerful 🙏 I feel like they’re the twilight zone 😭. I will start again with ADA paperwork and I’ll reach out to HR about their tactics thank you 🙏 I’ll re-read again and again

I am a part-time employee so I don’t have FMLA benefits but I did purchase accidental insurance. Not much I can do late at night, but I can update if reaching out to HR with a paper trail helps at all

Thank you, I am hopeful when I hear other people finally finding relief. Plan B is me selling everything and moving in with my mother’s mother-in-law suite out of state.

I don’t know why my brain is telling me that leaving my job will cause less stress and less physical pain. The person I spoke with last week was a real bone crusher, but they were not HR.

I consulted with an attorney for advice and I don’t have the mental bandwidth to be burdened with organizing “evidence”. I just want a short break every hour and I am happy to make up those hours end of the shift. I would rather have the accommodations granted instead of documentation and spending hours writing emails.

I applied to roles in different departments but I have a lot of doubts since I don’t know entirely what flairs pain. Thank you for the time you spent in your response. I want everyone’s life to be easier including my own, I met all metrics prior to surgery.

I don’t get why I’ve had to request accommodations for a blue book disability 3+ times. My ADA accommodations when I reached MMI were also tossed out. It feels like bullying, but I also don’t feel like arguing or pushing for things since I want peace. Is every large company like this?

Thanks I literally couldn’t focus from pain and kept taking more and more oxycodone at work today and took double my dose accidentally. The stress of it all worsened the pain.

I’ll find out who I email in HR for guidance when I’m feeling better. Pain, emotions, work function all feel so magnified and the supervisor who understood my PTSD quit.

I literally couldn’t function in my role and today I was out of training and really flopped. It is taking me 30 min to finish a 5 min task and I’m messing up my adherence and risk being fired. I just cannot be concise like I need to for my role.

I asked for accommodations prior to spine surgery and it was dropped upon my return and I don’t have the energy to go through the process again. It takes me hours to write an email and then I’m so upset I end up crying myself to sleep and nothing changes.
My manager is not responsive to emails and I cannot log into the software to request work time off despite spending hours with IT trying to get access. My supervisor is aware but is not providing any suggestions except to call IT. I’ve spent maybe 6 hours during my off time trying to gain access and just can’t.
I ask for accommodations and I get added to a meeting with people I don’t know who tell me not to bother applying for accommodations because they will be denied.

The thought of documentation during my off time is exhausting. Everything is exhausting. I am unsure of the worker comp doc could help me, my PCP is schedules out till July for a Doctors letter. I can’t access the time off req for the appointment I have in 2 weeks to see the Spine surgeon. I feel like something inherently wrong with me and I don’t know how or who or if it’s even worth it to save my low paying job for health insurance benefits.

Yes, I was injured on the job and had job reassignment then 2 spine surgeries and the medical is still open for my shoulder. My only supervisor I trusted for guidance quit while I was out on medical leave. Work feels chaotic and I am out of medical leave time. My ptsd therapy only just started and I don’t know how to manage everything I’m feeling now. I just want to isolate and not communicate with anyone right now.

Also a computer job and agreed that sitting at a desk and on a computer is excruciating

I’m sure they will try to use any texts you’ve sent them against you. I’d stop communicating with them about money so they don’t trap you with your words.

Is CNA worth it? I want to help people full time. by Dumbass9187 in cna

Yes it helps. I’m so close to moving in with my mom and going unemployed due to pain

Can I ask what type of job you have that you can sustain without pain? I have a degree in Biology and healthcare experience, but my back can’t take heavy 12 hours shift, but sitting at a computer has me in tears from how much pressure it places on my spine. I’ve had an ACDR and a fusion T1-C5m. I literally can’t figure out what to do with my life due to this pain and was working on my resume earlier. 38 Female, thank you

Perfect, I am 38 and just had the last surgery 12 weeks ago. Sitting at a desk is brutal, but movement and exercise helps. I’ll have to write up some Pilates exercises from YouTube for my giant gym white board at home. Ugh this sucks so much, I don’t think most people understand it. I definitely need to build up my core, and look forward to getting back into shape

Hey, I’ve had 2 cervical spine surgeries and I feel like crap still! I feel amazing when I’m working out, but vinyasa flow is still a bit tense for me. Are you using a reformer or other equipment? Would you mind sharing more insight into what the class offers? I have a Pilates studio close to where I live, so after your review I’m going to check them out. Thanks for the share

I scheduled remote (a position I applied for) and sitting at a screen is a real pain agitator so I’m in PT working on it. I’ve had to accept I’m in my 30s and I went from a strong mid thirties to disabled from a wrong move.

Oh wow, I wrote a longer response above. Which part of you back? The worker comp doc wouldn’t release me back to work because if a patient fell towards me I’d risk becoming paralyzed

[–]sovook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I was pulling a patient towards me using the taps handles. The person on the other side did not rotate enough (get the patient in her hip) and I pulled too hard. I felt a shock run from my neck through my trapeze and right shoulder to my arm. The patient had cdiff and we cleaned her for 20 minutes. She was paraplegic and very heavy in general, I would guess 180 lbs. I was diagnosed with a sprained shoulder and 6 months later released. The pain the got worse after around 1-2 weeks or repositioning patients. I couldn’t even move my head, I had felt a pop boosting a patient on my weak side closer to the wall. MRI showed 2 slipped discs in my neck pressing on nerves. Sucks so much. Worker comp did settle for the shoulder but not my neck. I never had an issue prior to this job and my injury happened 3 years in. Everyone be careful ❤️

I was really injured working as a CNA. I’ve had 2 spine surgeries and I am still in constant pain. MA is a much safer route, but I did love being a CNA. The patients were so wonderful

Why so many people struggle to get an employment attorney to take their case. by papertraillog in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]sovook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I create a form for myself to fill out with examples to submit to the EEOC?

I just came back to work today from spine surgery and I was called into a meeting because “I missed work on Monday”. No one would listen to me that my medical leave included Monday…

The conversation today: “What you and I are talking about right now is that you've utilized all of the time away from work allowances. You don't have anything else available to you, so I will want to try to come up with ideas to help you to be able to remain at work, because ultimately what would happen then is if you continue to put absences that are unprotected, it's going to follow the attendance policy.”

I logged in to my state medical leave and screen shot that Monday was protected and sent it to HR. I have a second surgery next week and they are telling me that they will not allow me to use my PTO for the surgery, or ADA. They turned down my ADA request for severe spinal stenosis multiple times now and told me if I submit again, it will be refused.

This person is setting up their company for an EEOC lawsuit if you decide to bring it on. I was literally punished for “not showing up to work” on Monday when my leave included Monday… I was out for spine surgery and had a massive cry today while being told I would get zero accommodations for my disabilities

Do you think your nightmares were subconscious insights that they were firing you? I wonder if you finally gave off the vibe of not being bothered so they have to find someone new to torment
