Contact your doctor during office hours as this is not a medical emergency. Your doctor is the only one to give you a diagnosis and advise treatment.

I do not have insurance and am unemployed at the moment so I don't want to seek medical care unless it is absolutely needed I was hoping for possible responses as to what it could possibly be and if it merits visiting a dr.

Yes, it merits visiting a doctor. It may be that you have a pinched nerve, or a pulled muscle, but we don't have the credentials to diagnose via the internet.

If you have an Urgent Care Center near you, go there. ER as a last resort. There are programs in place, at hospitals, to help you offset the costs, you just have to ask for them.
