They have to wait until your doctor releases you to at least light duty. It sounds like your employer is willing to meet the light duty restrictions set by the doctor, so you can either go in, or lose your job. Your other alternative is to convince your doc that you can't work at all.

As long as your employer assigns you work that is within the restrictions imposed by your doctor, you must return to work.

If he offers you work and it sounds like light duty and you refuse, he can fire you. Also, he can fire you anyway depending on state you live in. One other thing tell your doctor you are in pain and dizzy and cannot work.

do you have a union?
if not, you might be screwed
if yes, contact your shop steward
(there is a Family Medical Leave Act that might cover you, Google it)

the first thing to do when you're hurt on the job is sue and no he can't
