A little over a week ago my pup fell out the back of the truck, she wasn't moving on her own for the first 2 days but just about two days ago she she started limping and just barely putting any pressure on her injured back right leg. She is able to move the injured leg but to me it seems stuck in place it is a lil swollen. I'm curious to know if she could possibly recover on her own due to not being able to have the money to take her to a get and get her looked at...

It sounds like she may have dislocated or broken her leg and without appropraite care it is likely the leg will set crooked causing pain and arthritis going forward. I recommend you seek advice from a vet - contact your local humane society for subsideized clinics etc or enquire about care credit to get her the help she needs
