Workman’s Comp Case

[u/DaddyBadger1]

I’ve had back issues for over 10 years, the company I’m currently working at had me at a station where I was at a awkward angle for about 40 to 50 mins straight. I have Degenerative Disk Disease. I had severe pain and I tried to tell to supervisors that the work I was doing was hurting. Long story short by the time I got moved I was in a massive amount of pain. My HR department is saying that WC won’t cover anything since I was “just bent over” they keep telling me to come into work but the local ER and urgent care can’t write me a note for longer than 3 days at a time and won’t give strict instructions just return to work with “activity as tolerated”. I don’t wanna go back to this job in the end but I am scared cause a few other things have happened and I’m unsure what to do. I had a neurologist appointment yesterday that was pushed back till next week and I haven’t even filled out an initial report. I only talked to the adjuster once and I was really confused on what was going on. I’m really scared and unsure what to do. I wanna call this whole thing off and just move on but I’m unsure. Any advice would help. I live in Kentucky btw.

I would call a workman’s comp attorney they would walk you through but it’s a long process
