How can pain in the right hip post injury be treated?
Patient: Hi I missed a step and slipped down four stairs hitting bottom. Now my right side hip hurts as if someone took a bat to it. I can t lift my leg past my ankle height or turn my leg a certain way anymore. It hurts especially when I lay down and try to wake up. Like something s broken or out of place. Doctor: hisince you fell down to a bottom and got hurted it might be a hip fracture. if there is any reduction of movements it's better to take x-ray of both the hips and consult a orthopedician once. just apply the ice packs over the hip area and under rest would be better.thank you.
