You have two problems with this case. First, you apparently didn't report it immediately after the occurrence. Second, you need medical support for causation--that is, a doctor who examines you and believes your condition was a result of the work incident. If you happen to have a private physician, you should seek an appointment with him, although perhaps you already have consulted with him.
