If you reported back pain to the insurance company but did not see a doctor can you still get pain and suffering from the at fault driver's insurance?

Yes you can. However, it depends on how bad the injury is and how long it's been since the accident. You can't BS this stuff - if you try, you'll get hit with a fraud suit faster than your pain will go away.
Since you reported pain at the outset, regardless of whether or not you originally saw a doctor, you can collect benefits. However, you need to see a doctor and have him verify that the pain you're suffering was caused by an injury from the accident. If you're just trying to get some extra scratch, don't bother as the doctor will know if you're faking it. Real pain can't be faked, and any pain bad enough to warrant damages other than just medical bills needs to be serious enough to be seen by pictures.
An frequent example is a whiplash injury. Whiplash initially doesn't manifest itself as major pain, or even at all. However, after a few days it does manifest itself. MRI or CT's can verify the injury severity to the disks.
What you need to do is get to your doctor and have him do a diagnostic check with pictures - MRI or CT preferably, and plain films. It of course depends on whether or not you and your doctor can show that the pain was caused by an injury from the accident itself. You might want to consult an attorney first - they usually work with specific doctors that are also experts in accident matters.
