I fell and broke my wrist (fracture at end of radius) April 29. Got a soft cast with a splint on May 5.(Workers comp issue had to wait for orthopedic referral 😕) Went back yesterday and got the hard cast. But I think it's too restrictive. I can barely touch my thumb and forefinger together, much less the middle finger. I can't touch my thumb and ring finger together at all. Not to mention there is no padding between my thumb and the hard cast. It rubs/hurts when I try to touch them together. I can only bend my fingers halfway before the cast stops them. My restrictions are no lifting carrying or repetitive use. Have been since the beginning. But this seems a little extreme. (Also the current X-rays show the fracture is already partially healed.) Should my cast restrict my movement this much?

I had round up from debit charges to savings on but decided to stop. I turned it off and it shows that it is off, but it keeps taking it from my checking account. How do I stop it? I've tried toggling the switch several times but it still doesn't stop.

I missed a week and a half of work before returning for modified duty for a broken wrist. When I asked my DM about using sick time he said WC was going to cover that week. But all I've got from them is stuff about covering medication, milage compensation for Dr appointments and therapy,etc. But nothing about payment for the time I was off work. My adjuster had said something about I would be contacted, I believe through email, but don't remember, about how I normally get paid. Like direct deposit information or such. But I haven't heard anything about it.

Is this a slow process? Or should I assume I'm not going to get covered and talk to my manager about putting in sick time? Like most people I can't afford a short check.

I fell last week at work and fractured my wrist. I've been off a week, and they are going to cover that. My normal job requires the use of both hands and there's literally nothing I can do there. But I was told to come back on light duty, no use of the broken hand, on Monday. I myself have not heard anything from my adjuster since Tuesday after my orthopedic appointment. She talked like the matter was settled. But my district manager told me today they're saying my fall was 'preventable' that I was walking too fast. I was walking at a normal, brisk pace. No different than I normally do. My foot caught on a rubber guard on the floor causing me to trip. I've walked across that floor/ guard hundreds of times. I'm assuming I'll get something in writing concerning the findings/judgement or do I need to request it myself? My adjuster and DM had already spoken previously and it was pretty much decided I would not be able to work until my wrist was healed 4-6 or 8 weeks. Now I'm being told I have to return on light duty. Because my fall was 'preventable'. Does this sound reasonable? What do any of you advise?

I fell Wednesday evening at work hurting my right wrist. The workers comp triage nurse told me to ice it and take otc pain reliever and if worse the next day to go to the referred urgent care. It was worse so I went and had X-rays done. I got word today (Friday)it is fractured and they sent a referral to an orthopedic center. The orthopedic center never called me so I called them and they said I couldn't use the urgent cares referral I had to get one from my workers comp. So now it's going to be Monday before I find out anything. My sister is worried that not getting treated promptly will result in a bigger issue. By Monday it'll be 5 days since the injury. I was prescribed methylprednisolone by the nurse practitioner at the urgent care. It is helping with pain and swelling but I can barely use that hand. Should I be worried not getting treated sooner is going to make things worse?
