Heading: The 1997 Shoulder Injury and Further Problems with Leg

Text: In July 1997, Landman fell at work and injured her left shoulder, left leg and right ankle. [2] At ICS's direction, Landman went to Barnes Hospital. The Barnes' doctors found that her left shoulder was severely bruised. She returned to work on August 6th, but could no longer handle the rolls of paper, carry supplies or lift more than 15 pounds by herself. Because of these difficulties, Landman made demands for further treatment, but ICS refused. The Barnes' doctors had concluded that the left leg injury was not work-related, so in late August 1997, Landman went to her own physician, Dr. Mammen, for treatment of the lesion and swelling in her left leg. The lesion went away a few months later, but returned in May 1998. By September, after another flare-up in August, the condition had improved. Landman reported no further problems with lesions until February 1999. In December 1998, Landman underwent a physical, during which the doctors found a trace of edema and diagnosed her as obese. Otherwise, all tests were normal. Visits to the emergency room and her physician in January 1999 did not reveal any abnormalities in Landman's legs.
