Well done cookie,  do you have a union rep or close colleague that could be present with you, as sometimes conversations can get twisted and to have a witness would be handy,

I went down the Occ Health route a number of years back for my back, everything was agreed and sorted, the company knew I have a back condition right from the start at my interview,  the PM tried to get me to move departments onto Dot Com and I refused because of my back, they said I needed to go down that route again as they had lost all my paperwork !!!, they said I would have to pay to get a letter from the doctor regarding what I could or couldn't do, Doctor refused saying 1. I shouldn't have to pay and  2. I was the one who knew what I could or couldn't do and they should listen to me. After all the reason I had had no time off with back pain was because I was managing the condition and under no circumstances was I to go back to Dot Com.  He was quite bolshy about it.   I reprted back to the boss and it was taken no further, ha!

My back problem is something I was born with, I have 4 fused vertebree at the base of my spine which causes me to have lack of movement in that area,  If I don't lift or twist heavy objects I have no problems. Well it aches but not enough to keep me from work.

I have had 3 stints off work for 3 - 4 months and I don't want that again, it is hard work to get fit again, after the spasms  I have been problem free for 7 years now because I don't work on Dot Com and manage what I do.

I think they have finally got the message.  Take notes too.
