This past Friday I pulled a muscle in my back at work. I waited it out over the weekend and up till Wednesday and it never got better. So I goto my Dr and he basically tells me what I already no (major muscle pull). He gives me steroids and a script for muscle relaxers and tells me to take Ibuprofen. He also tells me it could take 4-6 weeks for full recovery. Soooo, now I'm out 4 days+ of work and I don't want to go the comp route cause it's a huge pain in the ass and you don't even get paid for the 1st week your out. On top of that it's my brother's company and he's so far in debt and can hardly make payroll (times are tough for everyone). So he can't afford to compensate me in any way, which I can understand, So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.. I'm hoping I can go back Monday. Would you have filed if you were in my shoes?
