I injured my right shoulder on the job and sent to U.S. Health Works where I was misdiagnosed with shoulder strain and sent back to work,  when in reality I had a piece of cartilage that had torn loose and was floating around tearing up the muscles and tendons in my shoulder,  this went on for six months until I was sent to a specialist who diagnosed that 2 surgical operations were required.  After the surgery I underwent 9 months of physical therapy, light duty and all kinds of pain killers and muscle relaxers.  I was then sent back to work as a cashier, which violated my weight restrictions and caused me to start missing days of work because of the pain.  I was then let go for tardiness and told I could reapply for a different job, which never appeared, so now I am unable to find suitable work, living in a homeless shelter and pennyless.

Shoulder injury

AUTHOR: Michealr - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, October 02, 2009

I am currently an employee of Lowe's Inc. i am a part timer that works in recieving which is the most physically demanding job in their stores. I was unloading a Samsung Ice box with a dolley, the ice box was about 2 feet taller than i was and weighed approximately 280 pounds. I was rolling it out of the truck where i was directly instructed to hurry up by a MoD (lowe's term for manager on Duty), while backing up to place the fridge where it went i triped over ladders that were set there by the MoD. The resulting injury was 3 cracked ribs and a torn rotater cup. Since the injury was so server i was given a month to come back, and was eventually let go for the same reason. But i was suported by the lowe's health care they provide for every employee.
