Catra - first of all I want to congratulate you on getting yourself to a point to be able to return to work. For that you should remain proud and excited.

For what your employer did, not so good! Sounds like you might have a good case there though. Looks like you might have two issues here, if it is workers comp retaliation, then you are protected under the Workers Compensation Law and possibly ADA for your disability. ADA has had a lot of changes recently, so check them out. You can get a copy of the Workers Compensation Act by googling it for your state and look for "Unlawful Discrimination". The EEOC does not cover workers comp issues, but it does cover discrimination!

Good Luck to you!!
