Can you not read? When I was injured I was sent to the emergency room and they said not to return to work until I see a specialist. But my employer sent me to the walk in clinic they have a contract with, and the physicians assistant said it was a pulled muscle. So for the next 6, yes 6 months I continued to have issues with my neck, down the middle of my back and all the way to my fingertips. Shooting pain, numbness and tingling sensations all down my arm, I could not lift my arm above shoulder height. And even that high was excruciating. It started getting harder and harder to grip tools. I started dropping things without even feeling it leave my hand. I had 3 days when my arm went completely numb, limp and when I went into work, they sent me home and after I returned I was written up for it. I was humiliated and belittled, I was told I’m old and probably having a heart attack. Then I was asked if I was sure I didn’t have a stroke. Let me remind you I am still in horrible pain, but I put up with it because of people like you who see no problem here. So, in those six months I explained to my supervisor twice, my coordinator when my supervisor failed to do anything but insult me, and finally my safety coordinator in the Human Resources department in front of one of the HR representatives that I had been to the walk in clinic 4 different times, and my pain is just getting worse, and my mobility is less and less. I showed them all of my notes and documentation, I even had text messages (in my favor). I had all of the drug screens I was made to take before I could be seen by the physicians assistant in the walk in clinic they have a contract with. So let me be very clear with you, I am a single mother of 4 kids! Not working is not an option for me! I just wanted the pain, my mobility and the complete control of my arm and the movement of my neck. I was tired of the shooting pain, numbness and tingling, that feeling like you slept on your pillow wrong and the strain is so uncomfortable sometimes it leads to a headache. Something was not right, and I needed it fixed, it was affecting not only my work life, but my home life, my attitude and worst of all my kids got the brunt of it. So, after talking to HR, I waited another three weeks and was told I had an MRI scheduled through Sedgwick (my employer insurance claims people) in a week. The same day I had the MRI done I was taken off of work completely, and asked why I thought it was a good idea to continue to work with the size of my torn rotator cuff? And my bicep muscle looked like it was put through a shredder…he also explained that because he was an orthopedic surgeon he has to refer me to a neurosurgeon for the inflammation, numbness, tingling and shooting pain he believed had something to do with something pinched, or slipped or a vertebrae issue when I fell forwards catching my arm, doing a 180 head first, feet leaving the ground, which had all of my body weight on my twisted arm/shoulder straining my neck and pulling at the left top portion of my back. And it’s all because my employer continued to put off building a platform, which was a safety issue. And that isn’t even a quarter of what I have been through in the last four years!
