More details to this question:
I worked for this company and took a vacation. When I came back they wanted a medical note since I had a brace. I went to mayo clinic on my vacation. Got the release for my job position which was a 10 lb weight limit. After back at work management had me lifting and moving should 50+ shelves on my own about 20 lbs weird angles. They also cut my hours. Was in severe pain. I have a rare disease that my wrist bones dead since I was 13. The whole 3.5 years I worked there I wore my brace a lot and never needed a note prior to them knowing I had a permanent disability. Worth trying a lawsuit?

If your medical limitations and job duties at work remained consistent until the employer learned of your disability, then you have a strong case for discrimination under the ADA and should meet with an attorney to pursue this matter further. You would need to perform your typical essential job functions either with or without an accommodation even with a disability. But there are enough suspicious facts to review this matter further
