StreetWalker Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Still working. But for how long is the question. It's getting harder and harder to go to work each day. I've got a fairly strenuous job. I'm a letter carrier with a walking route that's about 10 miles long and has over 3000 steps to climb and descend. Had to come home early today due to the pain. Being a hardheaded Marine I'm going to work as long as I can. When the pain gets too bad or the meds to control the pain start to affect me in a negative way I'll call it quits.

Always better to ask your doc's first and see if they suggest/agree with this, as it will add support for an increase. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
