“GOOD CAUSE” for QUITTING in GEORGIA?

Question by Uggh: “GOOD CAUSE” FOR QUITTING IN GEORGIA?
I have had bursitis since I was 22 after I had my first child. It was so bad that I could not walk. I thought my legs were broken, so I had began to crawl everywhere. Eventually my mother took me to the hospital (no one believed me for weeks and I could not drive). When I received the diagnosis from the doctor he said I had bursitis (after an x-ray and questioning) and told me I would have to have steroid injections. I refused and I went home and suffered it out. I took tylenol and OTC drugs to get by, and ended up having to resign from my job not being able to get out of the bed. I was unable to claim UI even though I worked there for 2 years and had no issues with management. I am now 3 years later in the same predicament. I for whatever reason as a younger woman believed bursitis was something you can have and would just go away and never come back like chicken pox, but I was wrong. It came back and even worse. I have another job like the one before, heavy lifting, twisting, pulling, etc. and I can fill it every day. I take about 16 tylenols a day and it is starting to have no affect. My job has slacked on providing me (and some other employees) with our enrollment paperwork in a timely manner so I have suffered with it about 2 months longer than necessary. I am 6 months from recieving my nursing degree. However I was wondering if I quit will I have good cause to recieve UI. I am in really bad pain.I have attempted to sit down at work to lessen the pain and pressure but with the way my job is designed (must be always moving and on my feet) it is no possible. I’m not one of those people who hates working, I’ve always had a job since I was 17 and I believe in working and earning my keep. Manual labor is just not something I can do anymore.
I refused the steroids because I had to pay for them out of pocket, because at the time I was uninsured as I am now. I have been on my job but they have slacked on providing me with my paperwork to recieve my benefits(insurance) so like then, now I am forced to deal with the pain day to day which is why I take the tylenol. I cannot recieve medicaid or medicare, because I am too old/young. I will have to wither pay for insurance for the time being (if I do quit) or become insured under my boyfriend.

First, why did you refuse the steroid injections? They do work even if it is temporary.

Secondly, you really need to see a top-notch rheumatologist about this to see about other treatments you may not know about.

Third, go ahead and get your nursing degree if at all possible, because UI is not going to pay very much and it’s not going to last very long either.

Nurses can also get administrative jobs where they spend a great deal of time sitting down and using the phone and coordinating things.

You have options and you are refusing them, just like the steroid injections. I get them in my back (epidurals) and I can function as long as I get them every so often.

And taking 16 Tylenols is going to probably give you permanent kidney damage and possibly liver damage, and you really should know better if you are in nursing! As a dietitian, people who used that much Tylenol for a very long period of time often ended up on dialysis, so how can Tylenol be better than steroid shots for the bursitis?!?!?

You really don’t make much sense with the way you are approaching things. I do wish you the best, but you need to change your point of view, and stop taking the Tylenol NOW. Does your doctor know how much you are taking? And you won’t take steroids for the bursitis? Good grief.
