This makes sense then I am over 40 , and I cant seem to recover from the this injury. It seems like it goes on forever. It genuinely has me concerned because I don't know what I will end up doing I have always worked and earned a living I have applied for short term disability through my employer and I see my neurologist again on the 2nd but I am not expecting to be told I will be allowed to go back to work because I have a very long commute to my job and I know it stresses my body. I had to go with my wife to her chemo treatment which is a good ways from our home and I was unable to move my neck for three days .
