If your authorized treating physician releases you to full-duty work but you genuinely feel you cannot perform the job safely due to ongoing pain, you should immediately communicate your specific functional limitations to your doctor and employer. Request a re-evaluation or clarification of your physical restrictions. If you return to work against medical advice and reinjure yourself, it can complicate your claim. Alternatively, you can seek a second medical opinion or consult a workers' compensation attorney to contest a premature full-duty release.
