Suggest Treatment For Severe Hip And Neck Pain

I am 70 year old obese woman. I was on top of steps (about 2 1/2 ft high) holding on to the door when a gust of wind hit door and caused me to fall over the edge of the steps. Landing on some large flower pots with my right hip and my rt should near the neck hit the concrete of the driveway. I protected my head while I prayed to God to not allow a broken neck. I got up like a cow. Came into house and have extreme pain with burning in hip (on the side) and on the internal side of the rt shoulder near the nape of neck in cerival area. The lumbar area burns also and very painful to move. Could I possibly have broken something? I do not have any money!!!
