I have a weird feeling about this...

My wrist has been hurting for about six weeks. I don't know if I hurt it at work or not. It's been getting progressively worse, not better. Today, I moved a pad on a bed and heard and felt my wrist pop. I'm freaking out because I have no insurance, so medical treatment isn't really an option. My DON said to fill out an incident report and go to occ health in the morning. But the initial injury didn't occur today, it was exacerbated. It seems fraudulent to me to present myself as a workman's comp case when I didn't fill out a report and seek treatment within 24 hours of the initial injury per company policy. He said "Well, you probably DID hurt yourself here" which is likely, however, I can't prove it. Is there something wrong with this picture? I'm going to talk to the ADON tomorrow and see what she thinks. I need treatment, but not if I have to lie. What do you think?
