Deciding whether to return to work following a job injury can be very confusing. If you are physically capable of continuing to perform your normal job, it will likely be in your best interest to continue to work following your work injury. Further, if your employer is able to accommodate your lighty duty work restrictions, you should probably attempt the light duty job they are offering you. However, employers frequently say they have light duty work available when in reality they are not able to provide work within your restrictions. There may also be miscommunication between you, your employer and the doctor with regard to your specific work restrictions.
