I injured my elbow in February during school vacation. I thought it was bruised so I figured it would eventually heal. I work in a school kitchen and do a lot of heavy lifting and repetitive motions. My elbow had become more painful as time went on so I finally got it checked a few weeks ago. I did not file it as a workmans comp issues because I injured it at home and chose to work regardless of the pain. My doctor diagnosed me with Tennis elbow and said to stay out of work for 3 weeks, got a cortizone shot and will have physical therapy. He said it was important to rest the arm. I sent in this dr.s note but work forced me to go see their workman comp drs who are not allowed to say no work but light duty. Basically, light duty how they put it means I can perform none of my regular job duties except wipe down counters as I cannot use my left arm. They also said it is not work related but a personal injury that will not recieve workmans comp. Fine with me I never intended to do the workmans comp thing because as I said…it was a personal injury. I have 17 days of sick time and planned to use it to rest the arm..MY dr.s orders. My boss says I can go back to work tomorrow and then said well he can tell his boss that he has an employee that refuses to go back to work. I will literally sit there and do nothing which is not faiir to the other 2 employees that have to do the a 3 person job while I sit and watch. Is this legal? Can he force me back since I have a doctors note. Whose doctors note is the one to go by..their doctor or mine since it is not work related?
It is a personal injury and I gave them a note from my doctor stating I could not return to work until further evaluation by him. My sick days are earned and I am allowed to use them for personal sick time or family sick time. Isnt this in the lines of the medical leave act? They had no cause to send me to another doctor as it is not a work related injury.
Basically, he is not asking me to perform duties I can do. He is asking me to go to work and do nothing but sit there. I know some may say hey go for it but I have been in the opposite situation where we had our 3rd person sit there and do nothing and it was very hard on 2 people doing a 3 person job. Why not just follow my doctors orders and give me the earned medical leave that I have acquired and was told to take by my doctor?

I was having alot of pain after surgery and physical therapy did not help,i told the surgeon and he said there was nothing more he could offer me,but another cortizone shot! I went to have a second opinion and my new surgeon said that i have radial tunnel and cubital tunnel which the emg showed abnormalities.This is a work related injury.My new surgeon said in his report that the tennis elbow surgery failed,and there should have been more tests on my elbow by my previous surgeon. Can anybody please help me with what i,ve gone thru?

I have suffered from chronic tennis elbow and golfers elbow in both arms for almost a year. For some reason I am not healing. 5 cortisone shots did not work and now I am on percocets and oxy contins. They take the edge off but do not take the pain away. The mornings are a nightmare because I am so stiff and seized up that I am in instant tears. I feel alone and frustrated. This is a work related injury and workers compensation doesn’t know what else to do with me. I was in physiotherapy for 8 months andwasn’tt even able to start strengthening exercises because Icouldn’tt straighten my arms. Workers compensation is now enrolling me in a pain management program. Has anyone ever been to one of these programs????I am 36 years old with two kids and my life is limited. Simple things like turning on the kitchen faucet in the morning is unbearable. Is anyone else dealing with this kind of situation???Please talk to me. I feel alone.
