.I, unfortunately work for a Bank and therefore DO NOT have WSIB
, we only have private insurance....full stop.I have worked for the bank for 20 years and had an accident 4 years ago whereby I triped on a laptop case strap and fell backwards, hitting my head off the floor and tearing my shoulder muscles, back muscles and having whiplash
.I received immediate medical treatment (physio etc.) and eventually after a couple of months I was fine..........Fast forward two years. I starting getting neck spasms, daily headaches and pain which started a year long investigation with my MD....test after test ect. I have been diagnosed with a narrowing in my Facet joints in my neck due to the previous injury. I continued to work during this time, albeit very difficult, sometimes I would have to work from home due to certain procedures I was having done (injections) and continued to work until I had surgery Oct. 08 to try and burn the nerves that were causing soooooo much pain. Unfortunately it was unsuccessful and long story short, I have been at home since then. My daily life has become such a struggle and since we do not have WSIB, I only have income replacement and medical. However since I was such a dedicated employee and trying my darndest to continue to work while going to appointments, I had every intention on returning to work, it now looks like that will not be the case, I need help. I looked to the bank for help with some duties around my home that I can no longer physically do and I was told that they do not provide that for me. I was told that if I need any other help or compensation etc. I am to sue my employer. Well I looked into sueing and I only had 2 years to do it! I guess being a 20 year employee and dedicated to them meant diddlely squat!!! So now I am looking for resources/support group that I can connect with, so any information you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Bev
