More details to this question:
I got injured at work. Employer sent me to see their doctor who stated I strained my upper right arm. He prescribed light duty for 3 days and a follow up appointment, was put on light duty. At the end of the day, I was called in to the office. I am on probation right now because this is a new job and haven't finished my 30 day probation period.

There is nothing illegal about this under the facts you have given. If you are in a union business, you could get some protection there, but if not, you are out of luck.
