I am a nurse with osteoporosis and a high risk of fragile fractures

Question:I am a nurse with osteoporosis and a high risk of fragile fractures. This stops me doing certain duties that occupational health are aware of and try to accommodate this on a daily basis as I can do many other duties that do not put me at risk. I have one manager that will not allow me to do extra shifts when staff is low even though there are plenty of jobs that I can do. Is this classed as discrimination as I am not being able to earn extra pay in these financially hard times. Any advise would be welcome

It's not really straight forward do other managers let you do this , what reason does this manager give , is there any mention from OH about this, would you be at any risk if there are reduced staff levels . You are able to undertake your contractual obligations so may not be discrimination
May also be that extra shifts require someone to be able to do full range of duties
May be worth putting a complaint in writing so you get official explanation
Hope some of this helps
