More details to this question:
I got fired from my company after four years of working .Today 12/30/2015 I reported on 12/23/15 that I was going to take my two sick days of the year to check myself at doctor because my back is hurting. I have a doctors note that is from 12/23/15 until 01/04/2016 they found a problem with my back. I called my job and let on of the supervisors know about why I did not go to work and I still got fired, is that legal?

It sounds like you probably have a case against your employer for disability discrimination. These cases tend to be complicated, so it is wise to have a lawyer to help you. You should contact a local lawyer who specializes in wrongful termination and discrimination cases, so you can discuss the details of your situation with him or her.
