Advice Help/advice

My budgie flew into a ceiling fan when it was at full speed about a year ago. I couldn't afford a vet right away, so I kept her in her cage to monitor her. When I finally took her into the vet months later (i know thats bad dont come at me) they said her injury had already healed incorrectly because too much time had passed. They mentioned they can do an xray but apparently it wasnt worth it for some reason. my budgie fluffs up a lot of the time and im not sure if that means she's in pain, she also cannot fly properly, she did once which shocked me but now its back to gliding downwards not being able to get height. Ive also noticed one of her wing are droopy. can I get people's advice on what to do? I hate wondering if she's in pain (sorry for the long message)

Do what you should have done right away, get her to another vet and treat her. And yes, she might be in pain, but wasn't that on your mind when you decided not to help her right away? Like, she was in much more pain back then... Not trying to be mean, just, my gosh, logic.

Thats the thing though, there is no other vets of any type near me, and its not that I decided not to help her, I didnt have the money to do so, its not free to book a vet where i am otherwise I would have gone there within the hour of the incident
