What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I had surgery on my knee about 4 months ago and was given a release to return to work full duty. Which I have done with no issues. I have since developed a problem with the opposite knee. I have sought medical attention for this. There is nothing wrong with the knee except the start of osteoarthritis. My employer asked that I get a note from my doctor stating that I am able to work without restrictions. I have doing my job fully and without restriction since my return post surgery. He states that my limping has caused concern. Do I have to supply my employer with this information since the issue is degenerative and not injury related?
