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.
