You might consider hiring an attorney who specializes in workers comp cases. You should have the right to appeal the decision.

Do you know if your employer has offer any settlement and, if so, what that settlement consists of? Are you still employed with them?

If you're in constant pain, and don't have medical insurance, you might try having someone take you to the nearest emergency room which accepts indigent patients.

I don't know all the details of your situation but its been my experience with workers compensation that they almost always initially deny claims. So don't give up!
