What Happened?
On April 11, 2023, Edwin was at work cooking for a hospital in Westchester County. While moving within the food service area, his foot slipped through a damaged drain opening in the floor, causing him to fall backward and hit his head. He was immediately helped by his boss and other kitchen staff. Before this accident, the same area of the floor had been complained about for a long time - workers had repeatedly pointed out that it was unsafe, yet nothing was done to fix it. Initially, Edwin didn’t realize how badly he was injured, but after experiencing ongoing pain, he sought treatment from a pain management specialist.
As a result of his fall at work, Edwin suffered injuries to his head and lower back. He sustained a concussion and experienced frequent headaches, rating his pain as 8 out of 10. His lower back pain radiated down both legs, accompanied by paresthesia. He had difficulty sleeping, and his pain worsened with prolonged standing, climbing stairs, or cold weather. When minimally invasive therapy failed to improve his symptoms, Edwin underwent pain management injections in his lower back. Thankfully, he did not require surgery.
