New to Forum - Fell Down and Now in Agony

Hi! I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm doing this right.
I've had Lyme disease for 11 years and have gone through the "all in your head" and "drug seeker" gauntlet for many years. I'm not taken seriously, and have had many, many serious pain events that were never addressed because of the "faker" status in my medical records.
Anyway, that sets the background about me!
I suffer from PTSD as a result of pain management neglect. I am TERRIFIED of pain. Unfortunately, I have balance issues and about five days ago I fell down on a hardwood floor really hard on my left hip. Since then, I've had severe, unrelenting pain that extends from my back and around to my left buttock, hip, groin, left thigh and knee. I've been icing and elevating my leg with no success. I've tried Advil, the narcotic Nucynta, Aspercream, lidocaine patches - nothing works! I went to the ER reluctantly two days ago and found out at least I have no broken bones, but they didn't take my pain seriously after they saw no broken bones. They allowed me to gasp, cry, and scream and thought it was all for drug-seeking. I am so disappointed. Currently I have no insurance because my husband was laid off last month. Otherwise, I'd be running to my doctor who I'm sure would get me an MRI and send me to pain management, PT, etc.
I'm on disability and Social Security but they are very slow to get me on Medicare health insurance.
My question is, has anyone else experienced severe pain on the left part of their body after a fall? How long did it take for you to recover? Do you have residual pain? This is stressing me out and I just want to know what to do at home while I wait for my insurance. And even if you haven't had this particular chronic pain, how do you cope with the loneliness? No one can relate so even my family is backing away.
Thanks so much for reading this long note!

Hi there - this is a post that I would consider probably a combination of two forums, but my main concern right now is my frequent falls related to Lyme disease that have caused chronic pain. Currently my pain is excruciating due to my most recent fall. I guess I didn't know I was posting in the wrong forum to get some suggestions. I apologize and thanks for giving me the heads up! :)

Scaredy Cat, can you help me understand how to move my post to the Chronic Pain forum? Maybe it's my Nook that is giving me trouble. If that's the case, I have a "real" computer to work with. I've tried to select the message by making the page turn blue, but that doesn't work. If you could help I'd really appreciate it! :)

Copy and paste is not working? That is all I ever do...hightlight by clicking and dragging...right click copy...and then right click paste where you want to re-post.

If this is not working let me know and I will be happy to move it for you...

...the only reason I didn't do that for you inititally is that it puts my screename as the poster, and that can be a bit confusing.:)

S.C.
