Guidance re unreasonable harassment or request whilst signed off sick..

[taken]

I have been injured and have been signed off sick for a further period by a surgeon / consultant pending an operation. My manager cannot understand and feels that I can return to work to do my or a job for a few hours a day. I then went back and raised this with the surgeon who has advised that I should not return to work. The manager believes the company can make every effort to ensure I work just as comfortably at work than I would at home. Insisting his job is to ensure that I return to work as soon as possible. The manager has been cagey by stating health is more important but fails to understand that the conditions at work are not the same as rest at home. I feel even more stressed now, as I am being made to feel that I am not making an effort to return to the beloved company who adhere to policy not to any empathy. I have been asked other questions as to how soon can i return after the operation, which neither myself or the surgeon knows. I also feel this has now also put me in a difficult future position in returning to work given the business relationship is somewhat damaged given our heated discussion. Is this pressure being applied as the company are possible looking for some form of constructive dismissal, is this unreasonable harassament or would this lead to constructive dismissal. Please also be aware the company have and continue to review and there may be a likelihood of further redundancies during 2013, this may not be my role but given 12 redundancies or so in 2012, some 10% of the workforce, there is a ongoing strategic review.
