A couple of years ago I was performing my duties on the job site when I slipped and fell down a flight of stairs; injuring my hip and lower back in the process. My supervisor at the time did not provide me with any physical documentation (no paperwork) as to who to contact with a claim. The entity that I was employed by has now dissolved and my claim I feel should be filed against the property owner (the employer (or leaseor) to the work environment of MY employer) for – an unsafe work environment due to neglect. I feel that this injury (to my hip) will require more medical attention if not surgery in the NEAR future. My hip is killing me! Can someone help me?

My brother (23), fell down a flight of stairs- because they were broken- last christmas.He hasn’t been able to move off his bed since. He’s suing the landlord, and the lawyer is asking for a list of his personal losses.. emotional, physical, monetary, ect. We’re come up with most of the obvious stuff(unable to work, travel, hang out, go to school, ect), but we know the list isn’t complete.. does anyone have any suggestions?

Back in April of this year, my 6 year old dog slipped a disc in his back climbing a flight of stairs. We have lots of stairs at our house so I’m assuming that took it’s toll on him. He was put on prednisone for about 3 weeks and was much much better. Well, Sunday morning, he was following me upstairs and he started crying again. And the way he was walking, I knew it happened again. I called the vet and she said that apparently this is going to be a chronic thing with him and wanted to put him on a daily anti-inflammatory–she gave him Previcox.
My question is, I know it’s for arthritis, but is it ok for slipped discs? What i’ve read about Previcox is not good and I don’t know that I want to put my dog on it long-term. Anybody have any suggestions? Obviously, we are blocking off the stairs so he want be able to climb them anymore, but is there something for effective and safer for him? I want to trust my vet but gosh the horror stories are making me very hesitant. I love my dog and have babied him since I got him and I don’t want to do anything that will harm him, but I also don’t want him to be in pain. I know you guys aren’t vets, but sometimes it seems they are more concerned about pushing medicine and getting the freebies. Any thoughts anybody?
I was just asking for suggestions and input from anybody who had any experience with previcox. I do trust my vet but it is my understanding that this drug is new and if you read my question you can see that I have googled previcox. I wanted to hear from anybody who knew of it. My vet didn’t mention anything about having blood tests done before him taking it nor did she mention it to me at all. As she was walking off, I ask her if we needed to follow up and she said maybe do a blood test in a couple of months! I’ve never been one to do hollistic stuff mainly b/c I don’t know much about it, but if there is an alternative that is safer for him, I’ll definitely try it. The only steps he will be climbing from now on will be the 2 little ones going outside when he goes to the bathroom. I want him to still be able to run and play and if this drug is the only thing that will help him, I’ll give it to him.
