I was injured in a car accident 6 months ago in a car accident unrelated to my job. I returned to work after treatment and re-injured my shoulder and back. On the job am I eligible for workers comp
I returned to work cleared by a dr. But now I've re- injured my back at work. Does this make me eligible for workers compensation

Maybe. Have you discussed it with your doctor? What does he or she think?
Have you reported it to your employer? Did they send you to their work comp doctor?
Although I don't handle work comp cases you should probably discuss what sounds like it might be an aggravation of a pre-existing condition with a lawyer who handles work comp cases and if you have a lawyer for the first injury you definitely want to notify them ASAP.
