I was out of work for one week and 3 days due to back pain, I found out I have a herniated disc. I am still in pain but my dr said I could return to work as long as I could stand all day. I work in an office where I'm on the phone and computer all day, so I go back into work today and my boss days he is looking for a laptop and a high top table for me to work out. Well I see the IT guy come down with a laptop but he gives it to an intern we have at the office so I ask my boss again if they have anything set up for me and he just says they are working on. 3 hours later I have been sitting/standing bent over at my desk and I still don't have a laptop. My boss pulls me into a meeting with him and HR and they say that they are trying to find a place for me to work but it's hard, I told them Wednesday of last week that the only was I can come back to work is if I can stand. If they cannot provide what my dr requires for me to return to work then does that mean I can still be on leave? They said that what the dr says is not realistic for our office but they still want me to work. I was in tears from sitting down and bending over to work for the 3 hours I was there today.
