Most sincere gratitude for the gifts we have had and the gifts we have now is paramount.

Now is all we have. The next moment is a gift.

Certainly, am most hoeful that you recover soon.

getting better have put ice on it for 2 days and taking ibuprofen, still some soreness. to be honest with you why I did not go to the doctor the company I work for treats you like a war criminal over injury's on the job. they will hound you to your last day when you file an injury report and loose time. in 21 years there I have never sought medical attention or lost time due to injury. I know I know its no excuse.

My brother didn't work for UPS but fell at Coka Cola while driving truck, he also never reported it now wishes after neck surgery that he'd been smarter. Fear will cause you to make bad decesions.

If you tore your labrum its not going to get better. It will stop hurting but it will get worse over time until your shoulder falls out of socket every time you flip a light switch. ( I know from experience) go get it checked out.   I had surgery on my right shoulder to fix a similar injury that I left for about 13 years.

Life loves that curve ball.  Get better soon.

you need to report it NOW
your company doesn't give a rat's a$$ if you sit home with no pay while you recover. Ask me how I know - torn rotator with unemployment for 3 months as my only source of income.

With all due respect...no excuse!

Ken,

Praying for a speedy recovery.

I took advantage of the first warm, non rain or snow day in a month on 1 Feb to fix a minor leak in a gutter over the front door.  Long- short I fell flat on my back from only 8 feet.  ER gave me pain pills, spasm controllers and something to reduce swelling. 2 days later I was back in the ER where by I got about 50 injections down my back.  Two weeks ago and I have not been out of the house or slept in a bed.  Easy to be hard- hard to do the right thing.  Care for your body, friend, the only one you have.  Prayers and I feel your pain-really

Ken an old friend sued them for that exact same thing, instead of helping him they blocked all his options and used scare tactics acting like he was lying... he got a personal injury lawyer and they had to pay him a ton of money PLUS they couldn't fire him for suing them but he left anyway and went to work for their competitor.....   I know who you work for and they are rough on their employees mostly the warehouse people but non the less..

Here in Nova Scotia we have Worker's Compensation, something all employers pay into. Hurt on the job? Easy money through the Worker's Comp? Not necessarily, they don't like to pay out either.
That personal injury lawyer idea is a good one. Just talk to one at least, can't hurt.

Not properly attended to old injuries have a way of coming back to haunt you. Too late then.

Ken,
I lot of guys here have mentioned going to the doctor, rightfully so. This is why we have insurance in the first place. Not one for doctors myself, I would not hesitate in this situation. Self diagnosis can be very harmful. You have nothing to lose by getting a professional opinion. Good luck my friend!!

Ken,

It is better to be safe than sorry.

A quick MRI and or Doctor check will be able to give you the peace of mind to allow you which route to take next.

Please, don't play around.
