If you really did this at work, make sure they know and report. Then you can get medical care on their dime.
I’m only 40 but my body feels like I’m 80. I moved apartments 2 years ago, 3rd floor to 3rd floor. I literally almost died, my chest was pounding I couldn’t stand I was struggling to breath. I ended up laying on the floor for about an hour, being wiped with wet washcloths to stay cool and trying to drink plenty of water.
Take care of your body, mine is too late but hopefully you still have time.
My lungs are fucked from smoking, my liver is fucked by drinking, my internal organs are fucked by poor nutrition, my mind is fucked by well… Everything
It’s bots just shape, it’s every aspect of my body… Take care of yourselves kids!
Lol it wasn’t serious. Little bruise and a reminder that my body doesn’t enjoy that kind of abuse the way it used to. I should probably stay out of mosh pits from now on. But I’m learning that I can’t rely on youthful energy, caffeine, and processed sugar to get me through life anymore and I’m taking steps to keep myself in shape.
If you have decent health insurance, DO NOT go through workers comp. “Their dime” isn’t worth 2¢ and they’ll delay so long irreversible consequences will result.
If you fall and break your leg at work, drag your one-legged ass to your car, drive home, call an ambulance, and say it happened there, then use your insurance.
Never use workers comp unless you have no other choice. It’s not fair but it’s your health.
Edit: I’m being a little dramatic with the leg thing, obviously you need to take care of that immediately. But if you hurt your back, tell your doc you did it at home, ditto for anything that doesn’t require immediate attention. As soon as you involve workers comp your insurance won’t cover anything and you’ll be at the mercy of workers comp. A Google search will tell you all you need to know about that hellish experience.
I don’t know, I only had 1 experience (small-ish explosion causing temporary hearing damage and temporary back pain). I had multiple witnesses, approved procedure by ehs rep and video evidence of adhering to procedure. Co-worker tried to “help” and caused it. Never even saw a bill or got a single call for money. I think it may just vary by company.
Fuck you, fuck your mother, and fuck your mother’s dog. You deserve to suffer every day of your life for shilling for this bullshit.
A co-worker of mine lost the use of his arm due to delays from those assholes, another friend lost the use of both legs for years and still can barely use his legs with the aid of crutches, and I got off lucky with just some hearing damage that could have been mitigated if they hadn’t delayed. (Separate incidents at different employers btw)
Don’t listen to this asshole, if you have decent insurance, use it, don’t go through worker’s comp.
Maybe I just had a good company, I don’t know. I understand there’s assholes and bad situations. Maybe I got lucky. I’m just stating my experience and you stated yours. Yes they are different but everyone has different experiences.

It’s never too late to get in shape, but 40 is a really long way from being too late to get in shape.

Ok, if it was just a minor bump I wouldn’t worry about it. I know I sometimes sit wrong and can’t walk right for a few days.
