Newbie with a Question

[Sonolady]

Hi All!

I am new here and i have a few questions about WC nd employer compliance. I am an ultrasound technician with multiple musculoskeletal problems. I have been dealing with these problems for the past 4 years. I basically have alot of "overuse" syndromes. It first started out as bursitis in my shoulder. after 8 months of healing I started to have problems with both of my wrists. I wear wrist splints constantly. I have tenosynovitis in both wrists. I have had multiple injections for pain and I have decided to stop having these injections because they are very painful. I have had PT numerous times. The PT helps but the problem comes back eventually. Finally this spring I had started to see improvement for my shoulder and my wrists had not hurt me in months. Well about 2 months ago I was forced by my employer to be moved to another department doing a different type of ultrasound only because someone had quit. Mind you, this job is very difficult for me as I have to work longer and my patients are ALOT harder to scan. I pleaded with them not to move me because of my problems. I was told to give it a try and they said that legally they could not make me do something that is going to cause me pain. Well the past few months have been absolutely HORRIBLE for me. I have had multiple appointments with my ortho doctor who has agreed that this new job is making my pain return. I cant even clean my house without having some sort of pain. My employer has received recommendations from my physical therapist and my doctor about moving me out of that enviornment, but they will not comply. I dont know what to do.... Sometimes they act like they care but as soon as i stop complaining they forget about the whole situation. I am only 33 and I dont want to be crippled by the time I am 40. I am so tired of hurting, and I am tired of taking meds just to get through my day.. OH, and i have just been diagnosed with DJD in both ankles, shoulders and knees... I am just so frustrated...Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for being sooooo long!
