thats strange caff, in1983 i was working as a temp for a german electrical box factory, i brought a tray of tea for the workers who at he time were stacking pallets on a high shelf on the factory floor, one was upended and the bloke caught it with the back of is foot and kicked it off
i heard a shout ,looked up and saw it hurtling towards me, i ducked and took the full force on my shoulderblades,i was flattened to the floor and went out sick
i had an xray but there was'nt anything broken,the doc said i had a neck vertebrae out of place and .
'clicked it back in with a slight swivel of my neck
after that i was laid up and stiff as hell, i returned back to work after a week to ask for wages but the personnel manager said that because i was temporary i would'nt be entitled to any pay!!!
i swiftly went to a solicitor and when the ball got rolling he sent me to a harley st specialist,i said it has affected sittng, and plaing piano etc -after a period i received £1000 comp
funny that in 2001 i got L1 sci in afall the doc said that i had previous back injuries when he saw the xray
