Ellie,
If you are suspicious of his motivation to
work I would have thought a WAI questionnaire might be the next move to see if
his efficacy can be measured. It will cover both the physical and mental
aspects. You can then make a more accurate determination of the MSK impact on
his ability to do his job.
Its not a panacea to solving the problem
but will give you an extra measure on which to base your actions.

the link is an article related to the WAI
which will give you an idea of what it’s about if you don’t already
know. I only have a hard copy which is a 30 page doc. I’m sure you can
get access to how to get it on the net.

Sheurmanns Disease
Had physio assessment and
ongoing sessions. Physios referred him back to GP as they did not seem to be
making much of an impact upon his stated symptoms etc. GP has advised him to
continue seeing the physios

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Sheurmanns
Disease
Any advice on how Sheurmanns Disease would manifest in a 36year old man? A chap has had six episodes of back pain over the past 2 years, approx 1 week absence every 2 months. Been diagnosed with Sheurmanns Disease and his absences have rocketed so that he has been at work approx 3 weeks out of every 4 and has just had seven week off with back pain, and his abilities when at work dramatically decreased so that he can not bend or lift anything. His GP has just said that the symptoms are unpredictable and his employers feel they can not sustain the level of absence or his lack of ability inbetween any longer.
Walked very gingerley when in OH and compained of back pain when sat for 10mins.....but ran across the car park to his car when he did not notice me watching from the 1st floor window....not that I was checking on him of course...thats where the water cooler just happens to be!!!
I though this was a disease of adolescence..please forgive my ignorance if I am wrong ..... and that the symptoms usually recur in later life
Any help greatly appreciated
