Yes I still work for the same company. Ten years prior I had injured and done work comp with another company that found a way to fire me when I returned. I like my job and didn't want to lose it. My state pays temporary disability, my husband insurance was great and doc said I would be fully recovered in a year. Yes I have continued to flare up every time I go back to work but my doctor refuse to acknowledge that I have a permanent disability that is aggravated by work. In the last six years I've probably gone out a dozen times. The reason my doctor said it wasn't work related is because both parents have back problems and I couldn't pin point injury. I didn't do anything else outside of work that could point to injury. I have a job that requires 20-50 lbs lifting frequently.
