So bad flair up started early December and still off work with it now. Spoken to them and to speak to them again after seeing specialist on 10/2/15 and will get ocupational health in which I hope will help as they always say they will put me on light duties but after 2 weeks its back to normal doing all kinds of things. Are any of you off work or had lenghly time off in past ? Thanks in advance xx
Hi kelly65690
good to read your post again but sad to hear you are still having trouble at work. I don't work but have you tried HR at work or going to see your GP? I am sorry i cant help you other than what i have said Surely if you had a sick note they could not do anything no matter how long you were off you would be classed as long term sick? I hope someone can help you so you take care jeanette xx
Hi Kelly. Welcome to the forum. I have had my cs since I was 30 yrs old. I am now 60 and I haven't been able to work properly since the age of 42. I have only been able to hold a job down for 4 months at the most, before I end up in absolute agony and have to come off again. The last job I had was doing voluntary work. I started there in oct 2013 and came off bad again in feb 2014. I am due to go back to see my specialist later today to discuss my options. Mine is a more complicated case of cs as I have a kind of scoliosis of the neck.
I think cos work can't physically see it they don't understand how bad it can be. But got specialist on Tuesday so hopefully getore answers. Thank you for your reply xx
Have they ever offered surgery? I have but scares me but my Dr thinks I should do it. I'm trying other things at minute like power plates but not usingy affected areas as they vibrate all muscles and dieting in case I do need surgery. Its just a constant battle each day is so different which is why working is hard. Thanks for your advice xx
