If you can not do the work that the dr. released you to do. Then Yes, I would go back to that dr. and explain to him/her that I can not do the work and tell them why.

8-05, Micro laminectomy/disectomy. 10-05 lumbar fusion L5-S1. 2-07 exploritory surgery. 12-07 medical implant, Spinal Cord Stimulator. now receiving SSDI. Jesus died for our sins. Soilders died for our freedom.

RE: what to do in cal.
if you are under california comp law then you can only see your doctor if you pay for it.
for comp to pay you can go to any doctor within the carrier/employer MPN.

RE: what to do in cal.
You report the knee injury, and have employer send you to their doctor.

If you want to see your own doctor, then you have to pay for that.

If you want this to be under a work comp claim, then you report it to the employer, and start learning your State laws and Rules of Work Comp.
