Oh you know what... I have a similar story... filing is not a big deal if you don't follow through with anything and it's actually a good idea just in case! I'm sorry your body feels so traitorous to you though, that stinks!!!
I was in my car in the parking lot at work last summer. A bee flew in my car and I flew OUT of my car.. I sprained my calf muscle and it hurt soooo much. I limped in and told my coworkers what happened, they found me an ice pack and I elevated my leg, my BF picked me up and drove me home since it was still so sore by days end. It was a funny story really! Well the next day I was much better and I had to fill out the workers comp paperwork also. Weird!
