Hit my head very bad! please help asap?

Ceiling fan fell and hit my head, help!? Tonight i was watching tv in my room standing up right underneath my ceiling fan and the thing just totally disconnected and ell onto my head then to the floor shattering. Luckily my head was not split open so no blood, i had a little bump but nothing huge the fan weighed around 20-30 pounds. it hurt extremely bad like a stinging feeling similar to when they are putting stitches in. and the pain is not going away but the swelling is now minimal after icing for the past hour. my parents would not take me to the emergency room becuase they said i was faking it (the pain) ugg what do they know! I am 20 years old but they wont let me take myself or leave the house so i cannot go but tomorrow i am going to the doctor or emergency room which one should i go to? I have taken 3 advils but the pain is still so severe, like a 8.5 out of 10 and to any touch it is horrible. my head is throbing it feels like there may be blood inside? also i have a intense migraine/headache going on eyes sentive to light sentive to noise my ears, and am very grouchy. When it happened i felt nauseous like to throw up but did not. and very dizzy and tired, so i iced it and layed down but did not let my self fall asleep. Will the doctor or er be upset that i waited and not treat my pain if it still exists and what would they give me for my pain mor will they? if tomorrow morning after the Advils they still don't even touch the constant pain and headaches? could i expect a small RX of vicodin, as i am allergic to codeine? or should i mention diladin as last time i had for the first time a migraine horrible after falling off of a chair and hitting my head thats what they gave me IV but not a rx. I just cannot handle pain well and am afraid that i will be in lots of it for the next 4-7 days. any advice i would greatly appreciate. if it matters i am currently on the medication Lexapro for anxiety and depression. Thank you!
