That's precisely why I asked them what their terms are for full time hours but with some form of restrictions to allow for full time work, and asked up front if I would be able to bring in a new note from either my Chiro or PCP. I will await their response, I was afraid of that....
The whole...
They do, but they also know that I am the one who mostly came up with them with the staff, because that's what I told them bothered me at the moment.
I cant hold out until further into the month, I will become homeless with a family of four, especially if the pain doc refuses to lift the...
Thats ok, they werent really anyones medical advice, only a precaution I was taking until I was able to get the MRI back and get some information on the diagnosis and exam information from the pain doc, he indicated that I have full range of motion and nothing significant with any numbness or...
What about from my new Primary Care Doctor that I selected, I don't see a regular Dr. all the time, other than my back prob. I have minimal health issues so there has been no need.

This lists them as physicians. Its his...
ok good then I will proceed diligently to have all restrictions lifted so I can return to full hours, they are interpreting these as self imposed, because I was being too honest with them about how the doctor came up with them, I have a big mouth apparently and I need to work on that, honesty is...
they are treating me like an FMLA abuser, which I am not, even though with finally after years of reluctancy I decided that I finally needed to see someone about the backpain issues and be proactive, now they are chastising me for it by telling me my restrictions are too conservative, the doc...
because I have informed them that I am now seeking a second opinion either from my new PCP for a new plan, or a chiropractor to take over my care, and re-assist me with a new doctors note that is more liberal
Can I seek treatment from a different doc like a chiro and bring a new doctors note in with little to no restrictions? Or do I have to keep seeing the original doctor who wrote my restrictions, even though he is failing to work with my employer with easing up on it enough for me to work full time?
No its not an on the job injury, I turned in the FMLA and have been granted the 12 weeks of leave. They kept hounding my doctor for increasing the amount of weight to lift, he said he wasnt changing anything, and when I called their office and asked him if he would change it or fill out STD...
they responded by saying they have work but only part time (4 hours a day), even though just 1 year ago another employee in the very same department was allowed to be on a lower restriction.
They have me painted into a corner now, I have responded to tell them that I am seeing a new doctor or...
The restriction is likely short term 1month-3months, the specific govt policy that is set states that I can be on this type of modified duty for a period of up to 90 days for reassessment at that point another 90 days is available afterwards, the condition though will need future treatment...
So what should I do when an active policy exists for light duty with my company (govt), other employees have been afforded this opportunity, however, HR did not call their Doctor's office and attempt to convince them that such a program didnt even exist. The Doctors office is telling me that...
The intent is to potentially use intermittent leave to cover absences from pain, appointments, phys therapy, future flare ups and for seeing a physical therapist. During this time, the doctor indicated on the forms that my duties that would be restricted, including not picking up heavy items...
I will try to keep this as short as I can.
As a patient I went to multiple docs, the second doc agreed that I should modify my duties until the MRI came back. I turned in the Dept of Labor FMLA form to my employer, they stated that I should be on light duty with no heavy lifting or driving...
