Default Oesteophyte cause and pain

Hi was wandering if anybody could help or shed some light on my situation/diagnosis. Please beare with me as new here and is a bit long , basically it all started back in feb this year , the problem was not being able to lift my right leg as high as my left. I suffered no pain and could continue my daily job being a courier no problem with no other symptons. I visited my local gp back in feb and she didnt even assess me and told me to go to gym which i was quite shocked at considering im 36 , have 2 children , both parents work full time and am no where near overweight and considerably fit with hectic busy lifestyle.. However I never persisted this with doctor and made a big mistake by going to see a private physiotherapist in june of this year as wanted and thought my leg may need some treatment. I explained my situation to the physio and the first thing he did was straight to couch and place all his weight into my right leg trying to bend the approx 9 inches it wouldnt go back too. This lasted for 2 sessions 45 mins per session using straps and allsorts. On the last 5 minutes of the last treatment he decided to measure using the special instruments they use my angles ect and came to the conclusion i have a hip impingement...
More or less straight after i went back to gp and had a xray turns out i have a oesteophyte on my femur head with the possible diagnosis of slipped upper femoral emphisis or avascular necrosis.... All rather upsetting and stressfull but what hurts the most is since the day i walked out that phsios clinic i have been in soo much pain it is ridiculous. I now cannot carry out daily simple tasks clearly can not work and now suffer from right hip pain ,left hip pain , chest pain and upper back pain. I have been taking too many painkillers and this is now into week 8 since and i can only feel deteriation and pain now becoming regardless of the amount of pain killers i am using. I have been to my gp more times you can imagine and have a so called emergency appointment with a oesteopedic. Just over 8 weeks waiting time no matter what i do i can not speed this up and the doctors dont know or wont answer my questions which is very frustrating. WHat i wanted to know is if anyone else had anything similiar and I am convinced the bending has caused me chronic/mass inflammation and just doesnt seem to be going away , I am really worried and struggling to comprehend how now I am more or less in permanent pain and even more worrying my upper part of my body.......
