Ever get hurt at work? How'd it end up for you? (lemmy.world)

I got hurt kinda badly on the job a few weeks back and so far the process has been agonizing between a RN that didn't believe I was in pain, an employer that seems to be laying groundwork for firing me a and a worker's comp insurance company that is more than a little loose with the timing of their payments. The whole thing has me pretty anxious, unable to do most things I enjoy and in a whole boatload of pain.

Anyone had an experience with an on-the-job injury? How'd it go? Any tales of full healing and victory over disability to brighten my outlook?

I've dislocated my shoulder fourteen times. One of those times was on the job at a retail location. I went to the ER, no help (financial or otherwise) from the employer; the next shift, I was chastised for alarming customers by bringing an ambulance onto the lot.

I was very young at the time and didn't realize that that was not reasonable.
