No support after returning to work

I returned to work 8 weeks ago after over a year off sick. I did a phased return of 6 weeks and at the moment I haven't gone back to my full hours, I think I will need to reduce them permanently.
I work in a busy retail environment, at first my manager was great and gave me a lot of jobs that involved sitting as I was struggling with fatigue.
My colleague have not been supportive at all with my return, they have started doing a lot of the jobs that can be done sitting down which means I am now doing the more physical jobs. I am also having to do some tasks that I struggle with due to nerve damage in my arm from my operation.
I feel trapped in a job where I get no support, I don't want to let my colleagues down by been useless, I want to try and do as much as I possibly can but they obviously don't think I am doing enough by the way they are treating me and making me do the more difficult jobs.

If your manager was supportive initially why has that changed?

Do you have a fit note saying you are fit to return on adjusted duties ie the sitting down tasks?

@flowery I didn't have a fit note but OH advised sitting down duties and no repetitive tasks. I think staff have been moaning and thats why she is not supportive now.
