How do I bring up my hourly wage to my coworkers?

I don't really know what will come of it but I just want to tell everyone else I make less than them for doing the hardest physical work while doing physical therapy for an injury/physical impairment than took me over a month to get accomodations for. I probably won't get a raise. In fact, I know I won't. But I just want people to know what I'm going through compared to them.
