go see another doctor. Get a work comp lawyer, although the Republicans that control the state legislature has passed limitations that make it hard to get a lawyer for work comp cases. The Legislature tend to protect the employer at the expense of the injured worker. Surprise, surprise. Remember how they have treated you next time you vote.

See an attorney in your area who does workers' compensation. Most do not charge a fee to review the matter. You cannot just see a doctor on your own unless you pay for the doctor. The comp judge will only consider authorized doctors ( doctors paid by the insurance company), unless the doctor is noticed as a independant medical doctor. Too complicated to explain here.

Best for you to attempt to work and if have problems, tell boss about the problems and go to the comp doctor and explain to him/her your inability to do the work and why.
