Speak to a solicitor I am sure you are entitled to some form of compensation.

Did you receive proper training for lifting heavy fixtures?
If you did then you don’t have a leg to stand on. If you didn’t then you have a case.
Did they put the injury in the accident book and did you sign it?
Again if the injury wasn’t recorded you cant do anything about it. Sorry mate.
As for the lack of pay - you should have received sick pay for at least some of the time off, but this does depend on when you hurt yourself. If you work mon-fri and the accident occurred on fri, the company don’t have to pay you for the 1st 3 days, they are classed as waiting days - therefore mon,tue,wed are unpaid but thurs and fri should be paid SSP.
Did you supply your company with a sick note?
If you didn’t then you recieve no sick pay, its just classed as time off without pay.
