Hun if you are struggling and in pain then don't go in see your gp.... if work are being funny go in on crutches and show them look this is me.... i'll do all i can like this or i go home like i have been.

Good luck hun it's not an easy decision to make

I'm not up on spd at all, but surely if you cant walk unaided.. then you have the right to be on sick pay still.. or disability benefit?
Sorry if thats not the case for what ever reason, (I know nothing lol) but if you feel like you couldn't cope going back to work.. then i'd try and get something arranged sooner rather than leaving it any later before you decide whats best for you.
Like Tsena said, you could always give it a go for just one day and see how you feel, although from your posts you've made recently, personally, i think it will be a big struggle for you to manage and we wouldn't want you to risk further harm or injury to yourself.

I hope you find a solution thats best for you hun.
Good Luck.
