Suggest Treatment For Pain After Fall And Suffering From Arthritis

Arthritis
Detailed Answer:
Good evening mam. Sorry to hear about the fall. It does sound quite bad.
as you have described, after the fall you had a twisted leg which had to be corrected by your husband.
Well i do want to know, how s your condition now.
1. Apart from pain, are you able to walk properly? Or you have to limp while walking
2. Does your pain get better with rest or does it remain the same
3. Did you get any x ray or MRI done for it
What i feel , is that you may have sprained a muscle or ligament.But since you twisted your leg , i would wanna rule out any fracture or dislocation of the hip joint as well. It does not look like fracture since 2 weeks have passed or else the pain would have been intense. But yes the possibility of dislocation which could have sprained your ligaments is still there.
Do let me know these queries. I would be able to guide you further with it
Take care
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Good evening. Well i think you need to consult an Orthopedics doctor. Pain present even at rest, and after an injury does favor some form of dislocation of hip joint which had happened after the fall..and it sprained your ligament or some hairline fracture.That s why the pain killers are not working that well. You can try some other NSAIDS ( which ever you can tolerate) as they may work better
You may need to undergo an X ray of the hips and MRI as well. But let your doctor decide that.I will suggest not to delay it and get it checked up
I hope the information was useful.
Take care
Regards
