    You have no choice but to go. You should be able to appeal a decision or get another doctor to give his opinion re. "restrictions" if you need to do so to help your case. if need be, talk with an attorney who specializes in "Workman's Comp" type cases.

    What will more than likely happen is the 2nd doctor will either say that you may not be able to go back to that job with zero restrictions or it may take more time and a different path of treatment may be offered. In any case, you are probably going to have to take what is called an FCE (Functional Capability Examination) which will determine the level of any permanent disability that you might have and will help determine the amount of monetary settlement that you will be eligible for.
