Jessica,
This feels so scary dosen't it. I had similar drastic drops in neurtophils. Neulasta did help but I had a few cycles delayed due to severe drops like yours so I ended up having to have neupogen injections as well. Both Neulasta and Neupogen gave me bone pain. I occasionally needed Endone so I'd encourage you to get a prescription in case. LIke you I can't take NSAIDS. I did take Claratyn everyday for the last 3 months - hard to tell if that helped reduce the pain intensity. My pain would often come in waves so once I got use to it I could breath through it - a bit like labour pain. I was lucky and despite low neutrophils never had a fever or infection. I did isolate myself avoiding crowds etc. I did use my own computer and phone though. Good luck I finally finished all my chemo rounds despite 7 weeks of delays due to low counts. I know you'll get there too.
