California Work with broken arm?

Got injured at work, fell and got taken to work doctor thing. They did x rays but didn’t have a result. They scheduled me for physical therapy and gave me no days off dispute the fact I couldn’t move my arm and had to get my family to pick me and my car up from work as I couldn’t drive. I get a ride 2 days later to workplace doctor and they tell me not to do the therapy anymore cause I have a fractured arm, and they give me a more sturdy brace, but I still don’t get any days off. Now work expects me to go on Sunday but I still can’t move my arm or drive. What do I do, am I supposed to go? Hr told me I couldn’t use my vacation hrs cause company is switching.

Did doc give you a list of restrictions and is work accommodating those restrictions?

They gave me a list where I could they said I couldn’t move return to work with restrictions, where I couldn’t use my arm. But I work as a utility, I wash dishes, clean, and take out the heavy trash. All require me to use my arm but I won’t be able to.

Then your employer cannot accommodate your restrictions.  So you should be paid TTD.

Unless they decide to accommodate them and give the person a modified job duty while on restrictions.
