No. You are not "available and able" to work. You would also need to quit your current employer who would probably fight your claim. Most companies will not hire a person with medical restrictions if it does not allow them to do the work. Perhaps your SIL didn't have the work (lifting and such) requirements that your job does.

You can always file, but that doesn't mean they'll accept it. You're in a grey area, in my opinion. You can't work for that company, but you could theoretically for a different company.
