CGT: That is what i thought too, why should i have to make up my own work schedule. On the Dr's restrictions every thing was spelled out, such as, now repetetive motions, no lifting, no pulling, seems fairly plain to me. When they seen the no repetetive motion, they asked me how i even fed myself. The more i think about it the madder i get. I have done this kind of work for 26 years now, all they keep asking me, are you sure this is the first time you have had this problem? I think i would know.. I just want to be able to live without this pain. thanks again for your input!
