re jobs/meds
Aaron,
there's Hooch's approach which I won't say is wrong however it can have consequences re loss of benefits/job if you're found out. One of my friends had an old back injury and he didn't report it to the company he was working for and then had to take some time off for back probs. They did check into his history and they did terminate his employment. Fortunately he found a new employer in a relatively short period of time and has good benefits. He still has to take time off re back/neck tho at least it's not questioned/problematic to date.
What my first WC attorney told me when I had a back injury and had been out of work for a year re not admitting to the injury was "doubtful the employer can have you put in jail for lying about your back."
Well again we do what we have to do whatever that might be. I hope Mark has success w/his treatment and perhaps it might be something that would be helpful for you and/or others with certain t spine stuff going on. good luck!
