Medical Neglect? Whats Wrong? What should I do?

2 days ago I got out of bed and as soon as my left foot hit the floor I got a searing pain clean up my leg. The more I attempted to walk on it the worse it got. I have been taking tylenol and tramadole for the pain but neither are helping so I finally decided to go to the doctor today. I went to a quick care facility as soon as my husband got home from work. After they took 30mins to get me checked in I went back to the room where I spoke with 2 MAs about what was wrong, allergies and so on. Then the Doctor came in and did a very brief exam (less than 2 mins) then started giving me crap about how they close at 9 and it was 8:50. So she would have to see if an xray tech was still there because again they close at 9. The xray tech came and got me mins. later. As soon as I got back to the room the Doctor came in and said that because the pharmacy closes at 9 she went ahead and got me a prescription of ibuprofen, however I am highly allergic to motrin and anything that has motrin in it. Which sadly enough was in my file so she clearly didnt take the time to look at my file. She then prescribes me tamadole which I had already told her and the MA I had taken it and it wasnt helping either. Then she told me that my xrays were fine and that there was nothing wrong with the bone and the problem MIGHT BE tendenitis but she wasnt sure and suggested physical theropy which I turned down. I tried asking her a couple of questions about my foot such as if it would get better and when would the pain subside and if it would be better if I tried to putting presure on it. She told me she didnt know if it would get better or not. She wasnt concerned at all she was just to worried about getting off work she was more concerned about getting off work then my case. So now I am seeking Medical and Legal advice Is this medical neglect? And a lilttle side note because I know thatI will get some kiind of comment on it so before hand. NO I am not a drug addict and then was not a ploy for narcotics. I am in server pain and suffer thorough it daily I can only walk if I hobble ever where to do it. And I know that It sounds bad that I turned down physical theropy but im not going to waste time and money to take physical theorpy for tendenitis when shes not even sure thats what it is.
