If it is a work comp injury claim, you probably shouldn't be sharing too much info with employer.

*Your doctor should be writing any restrictions as a rx note to employer.
Employer needs to follow those restrictions for you - as well as you need to follow them and if something isn't clear , dr needs to rewrite it for clarification..*

If claim might be denied or disputed - the employer (& work comp ins) might use something you say against you.

Might be good to get a comp atty to represent you if you don't have a clear cut claim with witnesses & that the accident was not your fault in any way.

But if you get atty they should tell you to not speak with employer, co workers or comp adjuster about injury or claim.

These are some general tips I learned during my wc claim. Some after the fact..

PS
Keep notes or a journal of appts, dates , symptoms, comments and request copies of all reports & tests..
