Reply #3: Usually back problems are faked

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I guess because it is easier to fake muscle strain. I believe, however, to get workman's comp you have to have witnesses that say you were injured on the job, and then you have to have a doctor's statement as to the severity of the injury. Of course, that's different from just being ill, but I'd think that if someone was claiming a chronic debilitating disease they'd have to provide something similar.
