Destoried left knee but told to return to driving.

Clutch knee destroyed will I be able to pass a dot phys and drive again.I had displaced fracture of my knee cap meaning one part piece was on one side and the other piece was on the other and had a lot of bone turned into dust tore acl pcl and lcl had most of my cartilage removed ruptured my petaller tendon and blew my quad muscle out. This all happened on 12/27/12 in Eagan MN. The trailer was icy and when turning around to climb out of trailer using proper climbing procedure my leg slipped and I crashed to the ground. Been off work ever since. Got a call today from my company telling me to report back on Monday to begin driving eight hours a day . Some how it slipped passed me that I was release to duty. Even though I am only able to bend my left leg to 85 degrees on a good day keep in mind I haven't even completed physical therapy yet. Pain is something else, its either terrible pain or my whole knee is numb. I like the numbness but the pain is more common. Have little to no muscle left in my left leg and it seems to buckle at times. Just curious cause my medical card is up Anybody here think I can pass a physical. Its up in the air with me right now. Cause, I honestly don't know if I even have a reflex anymore or if the doc has me squat I know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

 

I haven't driven since my injury. I have a heck of time just trying to get my leg to bend to get into a car. As far as bending my knee I can barely put my left shoe on without having to strech. I can't even use my left leg to be the domient one when climbing stairs. It will be quite noticelbe when the doc has me sit on the table to check my reflex and my left leg is not bending as well as my right. When my physical therapist tells me he advices me not to do it cause it will led to further damage kinda sends of red flags. As far as getting ahold of my doc. I will see flying pink elephants before that happens.

This is workers comp and its an out of state claim so its been so much fun dealing with them and trying to locate a lawyer. Claim is in Minnesota and I live in the Ohio. My restrication as of my last appointment are as follows. It says I can left 25 pounds and drive 8 hours. Heck at times I still have to use a cane for stablity. It doesn't state what I can drive and the my company and wc seems to believe I am fit for duty. Whelp its there money so if they want to get a me physical and I fail it. Its only going to be a told you so. Do I want to go back to the road, sure. Is it going to be when my company thinks I am fully healed probably not. Its only been and up hill battle ever since my injury and climb that hill ain't easy on one good knee. As far as a second opinon wondering that myself. The fact my doc sees me for five to ten minutes looks at my knee and tells me see you in a few weeks. That doesn't give me a confident feeling. I don't even get the time to ask questions.
