Thank you so much, I can't even describe how I feel.
I'm a commercial truck driver I haul hazardous chemicals. I can't drive because I get sick and I'm so scared this workers comp doctor is going to send me back to work.

Sadly, I think you're right to be wary of the workers' comp doctor. Workers' Comp should be renamed Employers' Protection Scheme. Are you unionized? If so, turn to your steward for some advice and support.
As a professional driver, hauling dangerous cargo, you are well aware of the importance, to public safety, of your being in top condition. You're the guy behind the wheel. Don't let anyone put you back there until you're able.
If you go back, too soon, and are involved in an accident, it's not the Workers' Comp doc they'll be coming after.
