Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, you appear to have a claim for worker's compensation; you should see a workers' comp attorney ASAP; also, ensure you have reported the injury to your employer. If you can't do the job due to a disability, you should ask for a reasonable accommodation; there may not be one, however, for your position. Finally, speak with your worker's comp attorney about whether social security disability might be available to you.
