What to do if my manager is unreasonable and trying to get me to quit by not giving me the 20 hours minimum that I need in order to retain my benefits?

I just returned from short term disability and am in my second phase of recovery with my ACL repair. I know that she doesn’t want to work around my restrictions and therapy, so by deliberately not giving me the hours, my medical benefits will cease. I feel medically discriminated against. She is also doing things like, changing the schedule to make it look like I am late, not letting me request off for doctors appointments, etc. Because of all the stress that she is causing me, I was forced to go to the doctor and get medicine to help me sleep. Do you think I have a case?
