I'm more busy than ever. I'm getting more and more to work to do and now it has become very physically demanding. I won't be able to sustain this pace for long but I need a job. Do you think there is any point in trying to talk openly about it with my boss, or is the only solution to find another job?

Don't say anything. More reasons to send your job to GBS.
Don’t say anything. Every position is overloaded and they don’t care.
You should talk your immediate supervisor. Ask what options you have, what can be changed with your new job that is making you Physically uncomfortable. Depending on how that conversation goes you will know quickly if you need to start seeking another job!! The reason you are doing more and more is because the company has over 3000 openings right now, you should be in the drivers seat if they want to keep you!
Do not say a thing to your manager. During calibration you will get ripped apart.
You didn't give us much to go on i.e. department, position, etc. Yes, it's worth a mention to your boss and HR, but be very careful on how you approach this, it could be a career ender, unfortunately. Unless you have a doctor's note validating a condition that no longer allows you to perform your job that you were hired to do, you probably don't have much of a chance. And then the company may require you to see one of their docs to determine if you are able to perform your job based on a physical standards test for your position. If your job created a condition over time preventing you from doing your job, that needs to be addressed by the HSE mgr/ergonomics. If you have become unable to "do" your job for whatever reason, they "should" try to find another job to reasonably accommodate you, but those jobs are hard to come by. If your job's physical demands/ requirements changed, that may be a valid argument in your favor. If I'm wrong, then I'm really wrong. Oh and don't try to use your Group legal to consult for an attorney against your employer.
