I injured myself at work nearly 2 weeks ago, and now my employer wants to see me with a rehab consultant. I've been going to physio (had 2 appointments so far) and he said he recommends another 2 weeks off and see where I'm at then, it's a slow and stubborn injury.
My employer called to check on me, and when I mentioned I'll be off for another 2 weeks she sounded shocked and surprised.
I feel like tomorrow that her and the rehab consultant will try and back me into a corner and try to make me come back before I'm physically able to - she keeps saying "it's recommended that workers come back sooner rather than later" and I get where she's coming from but I'm not capable of carrying out any physical duties. Going back at this point in time would be like running over my own foot.
Any advice?
