    So many ppl to thank on here so im just going to say it in one reply.
    All of your responses are very very VERY much appreciated! You saved my career no doubt. I am going to get on the line with the workmans comp insurance people and see if I can get a new physical from the doctor and get cleared.

    Also I was wondering if I can go to another doctor to get cleared? Does it have to be the original workmans comp doctor?

    It helps to stick with same Doc. especially with case management. I would talk to case manager first to see what the best course of action is. Gf used to work as a case manager for WC. Keep them in the loop or at least a heads up so things go smoother.

    Great info thanks for the reply. I ended up calling the insurance company that is handling my claim and asked them if I could withdraw my case and return to duty. They said they would require I sign a waiver of their responsibility to future medical payments. She is going to try to get me a doctors appointment as early as possible. Things are looking up!
