Question: My daughter had a major trauma to her back at work several years ago that resulted in a disc bulging from between her spine joints. That disc was itself ruptured and fluid leaked from it, she found out later. Being naive, she headed to her GP, who immediately sent her off to a phsyiotherapist who MOBILISED her, jiggilng her around, from what I can make out. Later, my daughter learned immobilisation should have been the path to take when the trauma occurred. In the following years, she managed the pain and took unpaid time from her work in an effort to help her recovery.
Back at work, another accident, minor though it was, has set the whole issue in motion, to the point that she is only able to work 12 hrs a week at the moment, and the work GP and others associated with her issue, have told her to see a "psych" for pain management. I am concerned, as I have seen the result of pain management drugs used for spinal problems.
