It is a legitimate, reoccurring medical issue and should be treated as such. See if you can get your doctor to sign the necessary paperwork so that it qualifies for FMLA, this will protect you from having your absences counted as occurrences that could lead to disciplinary action. Good luck and hang in there.
If you're gonna call out, our steward always said " May as we'll take. 3 days off" it only counts as one occurrence. Just don't get 3 occurrences in 9 months.
