I was put off work by a dr due to back injury. One day before being released to return to work, I was terminated. Is this legal?

HR dept was who terminated me by order of company owner. Injury was sciatica and although I had twisted the wrong way at work, the Dr. could not say conclusively that it was work related. Therefor no workers comp was filed. I had been out for six days. I was scheduled to be out for four weeks and healed quicker than expected. The dr was going to release me early after talking to my physical therapist. My employer knew of the impending early release by my Dr.
From what I read, FMLA would not apply. Company is to small
