I’ve been planning to join the military for sometime now. I had a injury at a previous job 2-3 years ago, by moving a heavy object, it was diagnosed as a pulled/strained muscle on my lower back, but wouldn’t be anything permanent/disabled and would heal after a while.

Work provided treatment, but was cut off. Had a workers comp case and got a settlement, recieved a 11% disability sum($), but wasn’t declared disabled/permanenet damage, just was given the sum as it was and case closed.

Anyways, I continued self treatment(recommended things by the doc at first) and finally think I’m fully healed. I can lift weights and exercise 500% more than I ever could. Never felt this great. However I haven’t visited a doc to document that I’m recovered.

Now I’m planning on going to a recruiter but I’m concerned if I’ll be disqualified when I get checked by the medical examination? Any suggestions? Should I visit the doctor that first treated me in order to have a note/letter ready to show my recovery? What are my chances of passing, knowing that I’m defenetly recovered?

I just very worried because sometimes their doctors can be a pain in the neck. I want to be ready for anything without lying.
I’m not asymptomatic. Also, wouldn’t lying get me in trouble later on if i do a long career? Usually they do investigations for security clearances. Plus, they ask on medical forms at MEPS if I received money from a injury.

I have a friend with a lower back injury. (L5-S1 disc hemorrhaged) She’s only 21 and has been working in a doctors office on a computer for the last 2 1/2 years. The desks at her work i noticed is non-ergonomic, she’s never had a back injury prior to this one, doesn’t lift heavy things, and she was thinking it might be job related because of her sitting position. Unfortunately her primary doctor works in the clinic she works for. When she went to see them about her injury he told her a hemorrhaged disc can happen over night and that she couldn’t claim it under L&I. An that she can continue working because she couldn’t do any further damage to it at work. Gave her some pain medication and told her go for surgery and some kind of epidural shots. I told her to go somewhere else for a consult and she’s trying to. So i was wondering if it is a possibility this could have happened from her desk set up? An has this happened to anyone else out there?

Low back injury on the job. Received 2 steroid injections in lower back 2 weeks apart. A week later was hospitalized. Doctors say say I am a diabetic now. They say steroid injections to my spine could have caused the problem. I don’t have a weight issue and diabetes does not run in my family. Do I have acase?

If a trucker gets a dwi in his off time, he loses his license and job immediately and cant get another driving job for 3-7 years because the insurance companies won’t insure him. Does the same apply for police officers and if not, at what cost to the taxpayers does it take to keep them insured. IS THERE EQUAL JUSTICE!!!

I live with almost constant pain since I was injured this year. It isn’t gut wrenching pain but more or less determined by weather and physical activity. I am trying to work through it but my future may be ruined if I over work my condition. It has changed my disposition and I find it difficult to smile. When it gets sore I tend to start guarding my injury. My OCPT has told me to work through it within my restrictions and my lawyer advised me to be prepared. I may end up losing my job very soon because of my limitations. They are starting to harass me at work.

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.

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?

I was seriously injured on the job. Collected BWC payments, they say I reached MMI, so now they have cut me off. My Dr will not release me to go back to work. Can I sue my employer for my permanent injuries? I had a spinal fusion. Now i have a metal plate in my neck, and constant pain. BWC agrees I will be in pain for the rest of my life, and have permanent restrictions. Any ideas? Please help before i go broke. Thanks
