Workers Comp: released by doctor to return to work with restrictions.?
I was just released by my doctor to return to work with restrictions. The restrictions are as follows: no lifting pulling, or pushing more than 25 lbs. No kneeling, squatting, climbing, or twisting. No standing for more than 1 hour at a time and no more than 5 hrs in a day. Sedentary work only. I am a journeyman house painter by trade,so i obviously cannot return to that job, and have no training in anything else. How do they expext me to make a living?

ACL injuries can be prevented
Want to please your knees?Here's a maneuver that might help avoid the injury that skiers probably fear most, the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, which helps maintain proper alignment of the load-bearing surfaces of the knee. Such an injury can result in an unstable joint, which may require surgery or a lengthy period of rehabilitation.
While slowly descending a gentle pitch, bend forward as far as necessary to allow you to drag the tips of your poles on the snow while holding them with your arms extended as far as possible to each side. Then straighten to your normal skiing stance while maintaining the forward lean, which will place your shoulders slightly ahead of your knees.
If you don't deviate, you may be in the best position to prevent a potentially career-ending ACL injury, according
