I was electrocuted 5 months ago and my upper back got all torn up. I still have a lot of pain and some mobility problems, which makes it hard to be as active as I used to be. I don’t eat crazy amounts of food or anything, in fact–we eat pretty healthy. Still, I’ve put on probably 10 lbs and it’s really bumming me out. What can I do?

I was injured at work while lifting a jet Ski out to a dealership because their forklift was broke. My work expected me to lift crazy amounts of wieght every day. After I got hurt, I let my boss know what happend. He begged me to keep working. After two days on the job, that night I coud’nt even get out of bed. After going through Workmans Comp and Back surgery I contacted a lawyer to handle my case. I am also seeking emotional and stress related injurys as well. The lawyer and I felt that I was worked over by my company. It has now been 8 months involved from injury to present.I have’nt heard from my lawyer in three months. I would just like to know the norm for such a mess and what I should expect in the future? I have healed good but still have pain. How much money will likley come my way? I am a student now and trying to become a nurse.
