No, most of them have said that it definitely contributed and is continuing to make my symptoms worse but no one has mentioned that I should change jobs. I know my recovery will be on the longer end because I can't go back to work too quick because of what you said, the risk of re-injury being too great. I don't know what Annest and Sanders will tell me when I go see them though. Regardless, I know myself that my job isn't doing me any good and don't want to re-injure myself so I am already considering looking for a new one. I don't plan to change my line of work, just the amount of work I do sitting at a computer (I'm currently doing psych evals and assessments for inmates so I am thinking of going back to more counseling and treatment and maybe trying field work).
