With really good care, lots of self care & lots of luck it just might get better for you too. So don't give up.
WC hoops/rules/red tape will tend to slow down/drag out the healing process, it might be even harder to prove a clear cause since you work at home...
esp if you do go the wc route, sometimes they do searches for names or dates or specific injuries.... usually more so for the more costly claims.
You can check our Work comp forum for stories & tips. It will help you decide if it is worth it or not.
