Work won’t pay me for missed days due to injury

I was injured on the job, it wasn't serious but had a bad bruise on my leg and couldn't walk on it for a couple days. After it happened I told my supervisor what happened and they immediately told me to keep working or take a drug test (they were using it as a threat, as if they knew I wasn't going to pass it). I passed the drug test and went home. I called off the next couple of days because I still couldn't walk on it. They used my PTO for the days I missed. The scrape I got with the bruise became infected because they didn't have any first aid on the premises, (which I reported them to OSHA for) and took another day off to go to the doctor. it has now been over 3 months and I still haven't been paid for missed wages. what…

I'm also leaving this job and moving across the country so I'd like to get this over with before I move. they keep telling me I need to show proof that I was injured and that I went to the doctor for it (I already gave them a doctors note already and wrote a statement). do I really have to show proof when it was all documented and I gave them a doctors note? any advice would help, thanks.
