I think your eligible to file for a workers compensation, you can read this workers compensation (http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/Workers_compensation) article to fully understand your rights.

Your sentences are conflicting as written. You say your doctor cleared you for work but you also say that he might send you for therapy at the next visit and 'who knows how long you'll be without work.'

You can file for WC despite what your employer says. Answer back when you know what the next doctor visit results in.

Your employer does not have a choice in the matter.
