What am I going to do???????????????????????

Oh it hurts so bad.Went to Primary Care after calling them and telling them I can barely walk and did they have a wheelchair for someone very overweight. Assured me yes but when I got there, just had regular size. Forced myself in, arms and seat cutting into my sides and legs. Waited well over an hour an was not called, the pain in my foot/ankle worsening and my feet and legs falling asleep from being cut into by the seat.

Left there to go to the ER. ER took an xray. Could not see anything wrong with the bones. No bone doctors on the weekend. No foot doctors. I'm already on pain medicine and anti-inflammatories and they have not touched the pain so was not prescribed anything else. Asked the er doctor what could be done to help me walk until the weekend was over and I could see someone else. He says nonchalantly "i'on't know" .. the nurse comes in and says they can prescribe me a quad cane or walker to use but their medical supply place was closed so we'd have to try elsewhere. Mom went to cvs .. they had nothing .. went to walgreen's they had one that had a 250 limit which I am far over but even if i wasn't, they don't bill medicare/medicaid and I don't have the 40 dollars the cane would cost.

So I am home now, after having a mini-breakdown coming up my three steps into the house, nauseous, sweating, hurting so much .. and no better off than I was when it happened. I am writing this to try to think of anything else but just how awful it is and how much I have to pee because I am dreading more than most anything trying to make it to the bathroom.

Oh, my foot hurts so bad today. For the last couple of weeks the area on the outside of my foot, midway between my heel and toes has been bothering me some, feeling sort of bruisy when there was pressure on it or my foot was moving. It didn't really affect my walking and was more of a minor annoyance. This morning I was moving something over with my left foot and my right foot, right in the area of the pain I've been having, there was a tremendous deep POP. It scared me, I've never had my foot pop before (my actual foot, not my toes). There was not a horrible amount of pain during the pop itself BUT since then, the area of pain has gotten much worse and spread up towards my pinky toe and down toward my heel, even aching over the outer front part of my ankle. My toes move without added pain, and I can bear my weight on it so I don't think it is broken but I am limping significantly on it and the ache in it is really bad (and I am someone accustomed to pain).

It would be such a huge production for me to be able to go to the doctor. I see no way I would be able to do it for at least the next few days. There's no swelling. I've done some research online and think i may have dislocated my cuboid bone. Wrapping it in an ace bandage seems to make the ache worse. It is really hurting.
