Still, as much as those x-rays are a PITA and all. You should be able to get all checked out not only on their dime, but while you are getting your normal pay as well.

FTR - I am not advocating anything, just trying to help. I, like you, had a REALLY minor slip at my old job about 6 months after my son's accident. I knocked my head on the ground after slipping/twisting on ice. My back was sore and I had a headache for a bit. I took some aspirin and thought ... "I don't have time to deal with this" "I'm tough, I can handle it" "It's no big deal" etc. etc. etc.
That was almost three years ago. My back still hurts occasionally - especially when I'm lifting heavy stuff. Headaches have subsided now, but they were more frequent for about 6 months.

What SHOULD I have done?
