I'm so sorry that you're going through this. 
At the very least someone should have ordered x-rays. For all anyone knows, it could be a stress fracture. Or a fracture could be ruled out.
In the meantime, can someone go to a CVS or health food store and pick up a tube of arnica gel for you to try? I use it for sciatica pain and it's also good for bumps, bruises and sore muscles. It should not be used on cut or scraped skin. I have no idea whether it would help you, but it couldn't hurt to see if it helps.
The University of Maryland Medical Center website has good information on arnica, which is an herb in the daisy family:
