You may not be surprised to hear that RSD is a direct result of not being properly treated for minor workplace injuries. While most on-the-job injuries are reported, a vast majority of employees never seek medical treatment for falls or strains, or pain in the back and neck due to long stressful shifts. Over time, employees may experience so much pain that they are forced to take a sick day or become dependent on pain medicines. Workers may just see pain as a normal part of the workday.
However, you should know that pain at work is not normal and should be given proper medical care to get to the root of the issue. In some cases, this pain may signify a case of RSD, which needs prompt medical attention and rehabilitation. During this time, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits to cover medical expenses and time off work while undergoing treatment. However, getting workers’ compensation and proving that RSD is as a result of work injury is another matter.
