I was working ontop of an industrial freezer. While doing so in an area with a maximum height of 3′ im 6’so i worked nearly 8hours on my hands and knees. I’m a 46 year old pipefitter with prior lower back problems. Prior to this accident i was released to full duty i worked from june until September 26th the date of the accident my employer is now paying for my medical attention. My problem with this is i’m still currently feeling heavy sciatica problems down my lower back and left side down to the bottom of my feet. I didn’t want to consider hiring an attorney, but lately my employer has been trying to find false reasons to get rid of me. I just wanna feel like i did when i started my employment there i feel shortly mu employers gonna fire me. Please whats your advice if any.
