Yes.
Until you know how well the injury heals keep all your bases covered.

My accident back in March last year wasn't "major", some physio, all sorted..
Or not...
I still can't sleep on my right side, if I do turn over then it wakes me (if it doesn't, it's because I've had a drink, then it hurts in the morning). Now in the cold, some days I have a pain on my upper arm on that side. If I raise my arm up and down, the joint clicks each and every time.
It doesn't particularly prevent me from doing normal daily things.
I am mindful that in A&E my occupation was asked and I remember being told that if my job was physical I'd have been referred for different treatment....which IMO is wrong, who knows, I may lose my job and end up on a building site (builder was the term used as an example of what would have meant a referral)
For that reason I haven't settled yet. I'm not looking at what I can "make". I want to be damn sure that this is not going to cause me problems in later life, so until this can be established I am not settling "full and final", in case further expensive treatment is needed
