Nothing was hurting until something in my back tweaked on the job on the 18th of last month and was sent home from work. I filed an incident report but was denied. I need advice and help. This happened at work and now I need surgery and have no pay coming in

You need to contact an experienced workers compensation lawyer. In order to have a claim, you need to have had an "accident at work" that caused the back injury ono the 18th. It does not help that no one saw your back injury. If you promptly reported it, then that is a good think. Hopefully, in your report, you specified a specific incident that caused your back injury. You can contact me for further advice about this matter.
