Discuss with your workers compensation lawyer. If you don't have one you should probably retain one.

The ADA allows you to ask for a reasonable accommodation. Other than limiting the hours per week does your doctor have other suggestions?

As a manager you might have to work more than 12 hours a week? All of your duties and work history should be reviewed with an employment lawyer. Call some to develop and action plan. McDonald's hires lawyers. You should too. Good luck.
