I'm potentially in need of arthroscopic surgery on my arm if physical therapy fails, and I'm quite stressed about the whole situation.

Reading online suggests a return to work in a physical job of 6-9 months.

I'm quite new to the trust I'm in, does anyone have any experience of being off for this period of time and do you think I would be at risk of being dismissed due to not being fit for the role temporarily?

Appreciate any input.

Edit: forgot to add the injury wasn't sustained during work, and I am a paramedic.
