I've had the same problem and tbh rest is the best fix for me. One thing I do know though is stay away from chiropractors. Absolute con artists.
If he gets sick pay, i'd suggest a week off, you can self cert for that period of time. If the injury was at work, you need to report it, it just covers you in the future.
This is pretty shhite then Comm...does your employer supply back belts?...if so it might be worth a try. Other than hot baths and dosing yourself up before a shift, IF you ain't using a fooking forklift!
This is the job ive spoke about, where the women only do certain parts of it. They still get the same pay, but only venture into half the sectors,
Wasn't aware of that. @Commachio source yourself some morphine mate, it's what I do when I really hurt myself. Co-codamol (sp?) probably the best over the counter.
Thats got me thinking. just who is my doctor. I havnt seen one for over 15 years. I may need to chase this up.
