What is the name of your state? Illinois,

About 3 months ago I was exiting the restroom at work, when I slipped and fell on a wet substance on the floor. I landed on my lower back/right sided. A witness called the Medics and I was transported to the ER. X-rays were taken showing no broken bone. My finace' works at a chiropractors office and told him about my injuries. I was in his office the next morning. That day he sent me for an mri showing no herniations. I was recieving chiropractic treatments daily, massage therapy 3 x and week and microstim daily as well. I work through a staffing agency who's work comp is covering this matter. I also am seeing a orthopedic MD who agrees with the chiropractor with a diagnosis of a thorasic/lumbar sprain/strain with whiplash. I am only 25 and fear I may never recover to 100% normal again. It's been real hard for me to sit in a chair for more than 15-30 minutes, bend over even sleep. I went back to work in mid february. I thought I was feeling better. The past few weeks have really been hard on my lower back. I sit most the day at work. Just yesterday, I had to leave work because the pain Had come back full force. I know i have a strong WC case, but do I also have a PI case against the owner of the building?

had this happen before

I have had a thorasic/lumbar sprain/strain and with rest and theraphy like certain stretching you can do it will get better...
your 25yrs old? this has been going on for 3 months? this is a normal time for a back injury but with rest and theraphy since this is only a strain you should have been good in just over a month...
first mistake and your biggest was to go to a chiropractor they are not doctors and are not certified to make a accurate diagnosis chiropractors will cause more injury to and already injury in place.....
