I NEED HELP TO UNDERSTAND

(3 discussions)

I have 11 days to find out whats going on before I go to court. I worked for U P S got injured on the job. I saw a chiropractor he put an order for an M R I results came back as “There is bulging of the annulus fibrosus. There is mild flattening of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac. There is mild subarticular recess narrowing bilaterally, however, there is no nerve deviation or dilation, nerve root contact or compromise. The patient’s intervertebrak disc space height and signal intensity is normal at all levels studied. There is mild bulging of the annulus fibrosus, specially centrally, at L4 L5 with no canal or contour abnormality of significance.” the chiropractor studied the M R I I am on the current diagnosis as Sublaxation, herniated disc w/o elopathy what the crap does this mean? My back hurts but i’m alive, its just that I was bodybuilding at the time of U P S. will I ever be able to lift weights again like I use to and when I can I expect to lift weights?

    Sorry its me again. I quit U P S I had to and I no longer lift weights, just walk for excercise, but I feel like my love of life has been taken away. the only thing that made me happy was when I went to work out. THANK YOU JAMES

    I am 24 years old, I have worked for U P S as an unloader for six months and thats when I quit. As an unloader I had to man handle 1,800 packages an hour. I did it on an average of six hours, five times a week, 30 hrs a week. We only had a fifteen minute break everyday in which they paid for our lunch, big whoop i’d rather have my back BACK.
