Dear Anonymous,       Did you have an specific injury to your lower back in October 2015 or did the back pain develop over a period of time. If you had a specific injury, you have 30 days from the date of accident to put your employer on notice of the accident/injury. If you did let your employer know about it, then you should be receiving medical treatment through the workers' compensation insurance company and wage loss benefits, if your doctor takes you out of work or places restrictions on your job duties that your employer cannot accommodate.
