Hi
Yes she has had cortizone and physio. She has been discharged from
physio. I saw her yesterday. The business need her to return to her
full role which is to be flexible on all production lines. There are
two lines which make and pack sausages which she percieves exacerbated
the symptoms. It does not appear that changes need to be made on this
line as rotation is in place but admittedly I must look at it more
closely but as I only work one day a week on this site it may e a few
weeks before a full ergonomic assessment is completed .She is ademant
that she will not return to the two lines even if a gradual phased
return is agreed. I think she is actually talking herself out of a job
but she believes that the Busienss caused the problems so they should
let her do any job. She is portugeese and requries a translator so it
compound the issues for me.

Hi, I understand from your post that she has seen a Specialist but you
don't mention what treatment she has had. I suffered from this after
the birth of my first child-it is very painful! I had two steroid
injections (the first did not work), and have been fine since. I
assume this has been tried.

Thank you so much for all the help. I work alone and it is so good to
get your views. I have reassessed her in the work place today. She is
refusing to work on two lines or lift above 1.5kg. This is going to be
gradual and I dont think that the work place will accomodate a long
return to work.
