More details to this question:
Had surgery for broke wrist in three places received metal plate and also had carpal tunnel release . I reached mmi and orthopedic sent me for FCE six months ago. Injury was a year ago. FCE determined light duty, 8 hr days 40 hrs week. Dr. agreed. I work as a production associate making gas tanks. I have lost of strength, grip so forth with arm and hand. Last week I received letter from WC stating appointment time with orthopedic and stating they wanted to see if he would release me back to full duty and my overtime hrs. I am worried that he will do this. I still have lots of pain, no strength and do not believe I will ever last at reg duty. What good is the FCE? My loss of use is 16 percent. Already being treated badly at work. State of Ga.

You can have an independent medical exam with a doctor of your choice to get an evaluation to hopefully counter what they are setting you up for.
