It is not clear if you are asking about a workers compensation injury, given the title you listed under. Either way, you may want to consider requesting FMLA leave. You do not mention anything about the size of your company, which may be relevant. Also, if you worked and got worse or end up working and getting worse, even a non work condition, if worsened could be compensated under WC. Good luck.
