When you file forWorkman's Compensation you can be forced back to light duty work. Refuse and you will lose your Workman's Compensation. I know this from first hand experience. I was forced to work six month's after having L5 S1 BAK surgery. I was in constant pain working as a nurse while caring for new born babies. Trust me, you can destroy your back lifting 1 pound or lifting 400 pounds. If your spine is injured you are at risk no matter what amount of weight you are lifting. Whatever your injury the Workman's Compensation Insurance Carrier has complete control over your life. Until you reach the age Compensation stops, or you die, there won't be a day that passes without thought of their cruelty stressing you beyond belief. My injury date 11/22/1999. Still they control my future by denying complete payment as per a Minnesota State Court Judgement.
