She stated that she has suffered from back, shoulder and neck problems for the past twenty years which were exacerbated by a bike accident in Spring 2006. Her complaints revolved around various assignments which she said would exacerbate her condition and the alleged failure of the respondent to make reasonable accommodations in relation to those assignments.
