they cant fire you for suing them as long as it was there fault and not yours,
if you claim and they fire you, sue them for unfair dismissal and you will win.

Since it happened at work, I would think that workers comp. should pay for it. It shouldnt matter how long you have been there. Definately get this checked out though! I had a similar problem. I waited three months to go to the doctor. By the time they found out what it was, I needed back surgery, and now I have permanent nerve damage in my leg and foot. I was only 25 when this happened. Now I cant work, and most days it is very hard for me to get around.

you would have to prove without a shaddow of a doubt that it was negligence on their part. if they have paid you and you like you're job i would leave it at that.
