Getting fired?!?! For ankle injury

Hi . I need some advice with making my torn ligaments heal faster. I tore my ATFL and CFL ligaments 7 weeks ago. I was placed in a backslab / splint for 3 weeks and then given the option to choose between a cast or moonboot to wear for another 3 weeks. I chose the moonboot even though doctor recommended plaster cast. I wasnt allowed to bear weight on it.

My job requires me to move around alot (im a waiter) ,carry dishes around , etc. Anyways I was placed to washing dishes in the kitchen. So now 7 weeeks after my injury my boss requires me to get back to my waitering job asap or i will be fired. I have alot of bruising and pain. Swelling is coming back. I have been given a week off the job. Not weight bearing. Anything i can do to heal it abit quicker so that i can start walking in a weeks time? The doc said 6 weeks time and its going for the 8th. Please help. Thanks

if you are in UK, this is called constructive dismissal. Go to citizens advice. No idea what the situation would be ouside uk. Hope it gets sorted for you.

Im in South africa but will look it up. Thank you smile
