Work Restrictions After Surgery

[michigan]

My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: michigan.
my surgeon wrote very specific work restrictions. my workmen's compensation insurance had me evlauted by one of their hired doctors, who wrote very vague work restrictions. my case manager at workmen's comp. stated, "they can go by their doctors restrictions and not the doctor that performed the surgery." is this legal and should workmen's compensation have notified me that they were going to go by their doctors restrictions?

thank you

Have your doctor review the new restrictions and, if he disagrees with them, issue updated restrictions.

You may wish to commiserate with (and get the experiences of) other injured workers here.
