More details to this question:
I have a back injury (not caused by a work related injury). My pain doctor has advised I wear a back brace while doing certain aspects of my job (laborer in an automotive manufacturer, must be able to lift up to 25 lbs). My employer says I can not wear the brace. Is this legal?

You should consult with an attorney that handles ADA cases. I do not. ADA = Americans with Disabilities Act.
