Who, exactly tried to give you pain pills? Are they a physician? Yes, you did do the right thing! I also think you need to report this to someone in authority at you state's Worker's Compensation board. A.S.A.P.

Anytime you are injured at work and do not feel comfortable, it is always a sound idea to go to a doctor and be examined. There is no reason for the company to get upset with you, and they should have directed you to the doctor in the first place. Dispensing pain killers is illegal in the workplace. because the injury was at work, and you reproted it to employer who then alerted wc carrier, there should be no issue at all. For this type of incident, the costs are neglible at best and will not affect their future premiums. hang in there, and if the others are 'mean' to yu as result of the injury, go to your hr dept.
