You only have one back. You are too young to have that kind of back pain. You need to be taking the situation seriously. If your job cannot be safely done, than the situation needs to be changed either by making it safe or you need a new job. Jobs always have some bs excuse as to why something is ok when it really isn't. Sometimes you have to put your foot down and make it clear that it isn't ok. No job, not even a "perfect job" is worth destroying your back in your early twenties.

The status quo is untenable. You need to take spinal care seriously or you will regret it. As was explained to me by multiple doctors, injuries at that age tend to get better, or get worse, they don't tend to just stay the same.

Seriously, talk to some doctors. Get some scans done. And try to keep a written log of the pain and issues, including your migraines and such. This will help your doctors.


Also, I hope that you reported hitting your head at work at the time it happened as it is likely too late at this point.

I hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, I agree and I'm going to try to see my doctor. My aunt pressured me to see a chiro and I still have to try to work seeing an actual doctor around her appointments.

I'll also ask my doctor to write me a letter so I can get help, or at least do "light duty" at work for awhile.

I also didn't report me hitting my head because I've hit my head at work before and didn't think that I needed to. None of my coworkers nor my aunt have ever told me I had to. This is my first job so I don't really know what I'm supposed to report or not report.

What Worthless said.

That's an excellent idea about having your Dr write a letter - employers could get in trouble if they ignored that.

You can still report it as you said it's recent. They should have you fill out an incident report form or something.

If you continue to do anything that causes injuries and/or makes your injuries worse, employers can use that against you.... so if you continued doing those tasks, then (in their opinion) it means you are willing and can do it fine without any issue (this can even be used against an employee at court). Your employer has a duty of care towards you.... adjustments should be provided. And if there are hazards in the workplace, they need to deal with these immediately.

In UK, we have a health and safety service to whom we can report a health and safety issue in a workplace or public space. This is a step to consider if your employer does nothing. There must be something similar where you're at.

Edit: too many errors!

No. A chiropractor is NOT a doctor they are a quack. They do not try to fix the issues to the point that you are better, they want patients for life. They are NOT able to diagnose anything. You need to see an ACTUAL Medical Doctor. That is THE priority. The chiropractor is NOT the priority. You should not be trying to work a doctor visit around chiropractor appointments. You haven't even been to a doctor once. It's like you are trying to treat an ailment/injury with traditional eastern medicine instead of seeking even an initial consult with a real doctor. A doctor can then refer you to other actual medical professionals such as a physical therapist.

I have to go back to the campus tomorrow. I am working my usual four hour shift at the residence. I hope they are well behaved.

Jesus f*****g Christ I never said I thought the chiro was legit or that I was still going to it. My aunt still has appointments to it that do take up time and are making it hard for me to find a time to see my doctor since she has to drive me. I also went to see a legit doctor literally right after the car accident. Please stop replying to me if you wont comprehend what I'm saying and are going to be an a**hole for like no reason. You're not telling me anything that I don't already know.
