I have an undiagnosed back / joint condition that I've recently been referred to the musculoskeletal team for. I work in the chemical industry and increasingly find work causes me so much pain, to the extent I am in tears daily. My work involves lots of manual handling and being on my feet all day. I've tried speaking to management about this and I've basically been told to suck it up. I don't know what to do. My contract states if I were to give notice it'd be a 4 month notice period. I know that I can't keep going to way I am and it's either going to end up me signing off sick or handing in my notice (or both since there's no way I can do another 4 months of this!). What on earth is my best way forward? If I look for another job I don't even know what in as I suspect most chemistry lab jobs would be similar and that's all I have experience in. I feel pretty lost at the moment and like I don't really have anyone I can chat to about this irl.
