Years ago I cut my finger quite bad on the job, and the boss suggested for me to stay at work. Because I could not use my injured hand I ended up getting hurt worse.

Here is the site that will tell you everything.

X2 Good advice! Once you go back to work before you are cleared, your case and subsequent cases pretaining to this injury are closed.

Sorry, but the only person out to help you is possibly your Dr and you! They may even try to get you to see THEIR inhouse DR. Guess what his findings will be?
Document everything, keep records of everything. When you talk to someone, document date, time and who (first/last name) of who you called. Get emails when possible. (The tried telling me they didn't have access to email but later said they would email my Dr)
You may not be fighting them now. But do you go scouting without a rifle and ammo?
