I'm sure that you need to go back to work, but you need to let the bone heal. If you don't, you can cripple yourself permanently if the bone heals incorrectly. You will need to be patient and let the bone mend. Think about it this way: if you permanently injure yourself, you won't be able to go back to work whether you need to or not. Keep us posted.
