Sorry I thought if you were in Ontario Canada I could have helped you as I have had some experience with govt compenasation & workplace accidents and light duties etc. I will say however that your health is most important and that no matter where you are working you will always have to live with the consequences of your decisions and if I were you I would have my own doctor look also. Something tells me that 'their' drs are not always as impartial as they should be. Now we're going to get kicked off an ob/gyn forum for being off topic!
