I WOULD ASK THE DOCTOR YOU ARE GOING TO IF YOU SHOULD BE ON YOUR FOOT, AND WHAT HE RECOMMENDS, ALSO THE COMMENT THEY GO BACK TO WORK THE NEXT DAY IS JUST A PLOY SO YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF, AND THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT WORKMANS COMP, IF THEY WERENT YOUR BOSSES YOU CAN BET THEY WOULD BE AT HOME WITH THERE FOOT PROPPED UP AND MOANING AND GROANING, I WOULD GET A NOTE FROM MY DOC, AND STAY HOME, ONCE YOU HURT YOUR FOOT, AND REINJURE IT, IT WILL TAKE ALOT LONGER TO HEAL GOOD LUCK

If you hurt or got injured at work and you reported it to your supervisors and a written report was made, then you must abide by what their doctor or your doctor says. Supervisors and or bosses are not paid by the hour and if they chose to go back to work the next day, that is their own decision. You on the other hand must take care of yourself and do as the doctor order, your supervisors must abide by the doctors decisions about you getting back to work without limitations. If you have any further question about this subject, email me. Been there and done it.

Usually if you hurt yourself at work it is called workmans compensation, by California law, they do not want you to be off work so they let you go back to work under Modified or Light duty
or sit down work only, until you recover from your injury,
If you decide to take off work yourself you will not be paid any compensation, so just try to follow the rules and your doctor's intructions and make ure your employers follows you dorctor instructions if you have to go back to Modified duty, if not you need to let your doctor know, if you still have questions you can contact your insurance claims adjuster who is handling your work comp claim .

Take care of yourself first. I hope you have a union. If you do, use them. I broke my ankle 6 yrs ago & went back to full duty (as a mail carrier on a street route) & now I have osetoarthritis in it which would not have progressed as fast as it did. I recently went out on disability. Our office harrassed light duty people to try to get them to quit. Your situation depends on how much emotional stress you can handle. I couldn't take it anymore.

this sounds like when my grandfather had to walk 10 miles to schools in the rain when he was a kid. what i would do is just simply tell your boss this "that's why your the boss and i am not" if you have a dr.s note there is nothing they can do so if it keeps up keep a log of everything and file a harassment report.

I think you would call that harrasment. They are telling you how weak you are. Forget them. Did you report your injury since you hurt yourself on the job?

You would still have to go to work no matter what the cause is. If you don't go into work you wouldn't get paid.
