Delivery driver, knee pain (California)
Ive been having knee pain while climbing stairs and getting in and out of the van. I did a worker comp paper and went to urgent care. They did an xray, said that it most likely a sprain. It hasn't been getting better though. It's continuing to be painful on route. Its not so painful that I call out of work tho. Its been about a month now and the pain still continues. Its only when bending my knee. I called the adjuster and asked to be reseen by the doctor. My boss called me asking how my knee was going and I said "so far it hasn't improved" he then kept saying maybe I should find a different job where I can handle the work.
I was put off by that. I'm worried my job is in jeopardy. He has repeated to me on phone calls that "we are family, we will work with you" I love my job and I just want to get better so i can continue it pain free. Today I go in to the doctor again to see if I can't get some physical therapy. Overall, just really worried.
I think I'm just posting this for some two cents and maybe some word's of encouragement.
