I think that the back pain might be getting me down. I think this because I am starting to question myself about it. Am I making it up? Am I exaggerating it? And telling myself things like "other people manage to go to work with worse problems". It's made worse by the knowledge that in pretty much any other job I could be still working as allowances could be made for me not being able to lift much at the moment. My boss seems unable/unwilling to make these allowances for me. Another colleague, who suspects he has cracked his ribs, is managing to work by operating the till only. I could do that, but I haven't been offered that as an option. Not to mention my colleague B is much more...assertive than me. Or at least more bolshy and less affected by negative comments from the boss.
