Since november it has been a bad chain of events bringing things down and making life difficult, though it can always get worse, lol. Some people have been wanting to know what has been going on. This event started it off, my neck injury. Be sure to click read more to see the rest of the story.
During the week following my birthday ( Nov 9th) I got hurt at work on November 15th. It was the week before blitz and we were trying to get things ready at work for that day. I had a nice big sized box filled with like 10 or 12 thick blitz robes in them to go to bin in the backroom. My side was blocked so I had to go on the ladieswear side and there were pallets back there kind of close. The only room for the box was on the top shelf. I saw a spot that looked empty and put the box up there. Well I didn't see that there was a tiny box further back off to the side that was in the way. The box bounced off that box and came down and bounced off my head before falling to the floor. The box was not super heavy but it had force. It didn't hurt at the time, so I didn't think much of it. I got the box up there somehow and went back out to the floor. Told my supervisor about it and went back to work.
The next day around the same time of day my neck suddenly started getting sore and stiff feeling and I immediately remembered what had happened the previous day. I found a manager and filled out an incident report.. We thought maybe it could just be temporary like a strain and to give it a few days. Well it didn't go away, and I mentioned it a few times at work that next week, but it was blitz week and everyone was so busy. Finally got information out someone as to what to do and made my doctor appointment. So that tuesday I went to the doc in town there and took the drug test as well.
The doctor felt around on my neck and asked me questions. Then said diagnosis initially is neck strain, take Tylenol and ice neck. From there I was to go get x-rays that he ordered, then make an appointment for physical therapy. He said if the x-rays were abnormal he would call me. He also put me on medium work restriction.
