You need legal representation. You had an IME? If so, go back to your attorney. Did you do that on your own? You do not have a claim for false firing, unless you had some sort of written contract that was breached. Once you were released without restrictions you techinically should have been able to do your job without a problem. Depending on your actual medical status and your age, etc. you may have other claims. Seek legal guidance asap.
