Sick note help?!

Looking for some advice please - aware Mumsnet isn't the best place to ask but just curious to see if anyone has any wisdom!

I'm currently off work with a sick note due to a sprained - possibly stress fractured ankle. Ds is just starting to walk so great timing to be hobbling around! I'm due back in work next Monday - I was going to be in work on light duties for 6 weeks but they couldn't accommodate those due to the nature of my job so doctor changed my fit note to a sick note. Got to call again on Friday for a catch up and discuss options. DP says I'll need a sick note for as long as my fit note was for, does anyone know if this is true?! I'm wanting to go back to work but also worried about pushing recovery back. Just want to be back in some form of routine so hoping with care and steadiness I'll be back at work next week - unless I do have to be off Confused anyone experienced anything similar before and can offer advice?!

A fit note is a sick note. Sick note is the old name.

You'll need a fit note covering the entire period you're not able to work.
