I'm sorry but I find you post a bit confusing. What do you mean write up & ice.? Did a DR give you restrictions, did you call you work and tell them you were in to much pain, or did you even call your DR. Is this a WC related injury.?

By all means try to get a DR excuse, But by the sounds of you post its not WC your asking about, but seems to lean to a slick way from getting fired. Either way I wish you luck.......

When it comes to medical, the better the paper trail the better your chances of success. I would not hesitate to use both the ER and your Chiro.
