work restriction

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? kansas
I fell off a 6 fooot ladder and broke my scaphoid which takes a long time to heal.
At first my company would let me working in the office a couple of hours a day for $10 a hour and workers comp would pay the difference. Then Corp said that no one could be on light duty so I sat at home for 7 weeks. Workers comp made my company take me back on light duty for the last 3 weeks, but I am getting less than the $10 as before for the same work. I called my adjuster about getting payment for the last 3 weeks becasue I had about 10 hours a week and they said that in kansas unless its a whole body injury(back injury) they dont have to pay me anything. I got my cast off last week and my arm is coming along good as can be for being in a cast for 10 weeks. At this point I am broke but my doctor said that if I good back to soon with the work that I do that I would be back with a serious elbow injury. I don't want to take the risk but I have been living off of hotdogs and all of my bills are way behind. Thanks for any help

Please be more specific on what your question is..

do I have any options besides going back to work before my doctor says I am ready? what if I seriously hurt my elbow becasue of my wrist? my employer will make me sign a waiver if I go back.

If your work has no light duty for you, and you can't do your regular job, then you collect workman's comp.. If your doctor releases you to work, but with restrictions, I don't think your employer can make you sign a waiver saying they are not responsible for further injuries.
