Is it legal for a company to give an across the board pay raise to all employees except one because of medical issues?

Is it legal for a company to give an across the board pay raise to all employees except one because of medical issues?

I took some extra time off of work because of physical medical issues. I also entered myself into rehab for 28 days. I kept my employer aware of both situations ahead of time. Both issues were non related. When I came back to work everyone had received a raise but me as far as I know. My personal relations person notified me I would not receive my raise for another 3 months with no explanation why. Could this be considered discrimination? What are my options?
