Thank you so much for your quick and kind response. My injury occurred working part time as a receiving clerk at JoAnn Fabrics. Please note that I am 4’9” and weigh 90 lbs. I was instructed to move several large heavy boxes. The first attempt caused a “pop” noise in my lower back, hip and knee. The workers comp doctor reported that this was preexisting condition and I was denied any benefits. 🙄 Being part time, I had no health insurance and could not afford to buy the Affordable Care Act insurance. Initially, no one would see me due to no insurance. I did try many other alternative therapies but none of them really helped much. This past January, I was finally able to get health insurance although nearly two years had past since the injury. I am scheduled to see a highly rated Orthopedic Spine Specialist in three weeks to see what he thinks and recommends.
