Legal Question in Workers Comp in Michigan

Right's

Last year I fell while working on the job. When I fell I used my arms and hands to stop from hitting a brick wall. I suffered minor scrapes and cuts. I also filled out the incident report for the company. I had a few aches and pains that I thought would go away, but after a while the pain still was there and it had gotten worse over this period of time. I was complaining about the pain to other co-workers and boss, nothing was ever said. The pain was so bad I asked to see a doctor because my arm was not getting better. I was told I had a bad case of tennis elbow and I was given a brace on it and put on lifting restrictions of 20 pounds or less. Plus I could not use ladders. This has been going on for six months now. In the mean time my work has finished up for the season, and I was laid off still on full restrictions, so I can not collect un-employment but I went to see the company�s insurance doctor and he said it was only mild and said take meds for two more months and were the brace,. My primary doctor has not released me yet. Am I entitled to workers compensation from the date I was laid off till now???
