I was injured during a restraint at work on May *, *. Despite reporting neck and upper back pain, I wasn’t referred for imaging or a specialist. My condition worsened, and therapy notes confirmed reduced function and nerve involvement. I was pressured to return to work before diagnosis or treatment, and denied a second opinion. On June *, I went to the ER, where a CT revealed cervical injury. MRI later showed a C5–C6 disc bulge, loss of cervical lordosis, and foraminal narrowing. I remain out of work. I’ve received delayed workers’ comp pay and multiple false return-to-work terminations. My concerns were ignored, my pain worsened, and I was denied timely care.
