More details to this question:
I hurt myself roughly a month ago. I had a lower back injury. I told my supervisor when it happened but continued to work. I thought it would get better but it didn't. I asked for light duty but still gave me more work than everyone else. I turned in my hospital bills nothing happened. My back is still hurting, what do I do?

If your injury happened at work, you need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits, ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

You "turned in" your hospital bills to whom? You have a workers comp claim. If they denied you, appeal. If you presented a dr's note specifying work limitations that they refused to comply with, you can cite a complaint with the state Dept of Labor about being assigned to do work that you could not do.

You must supply a doctor's note as to the problem. Bills tell your supervisor nothing.
