Any Suggestion For Slight Swelling And Mild Stiffness In Hips And Leg?

I was in a car accident yesterday where I rear ended someone, I wasn t going much faster than 25 mph. When I got home from work I could barley walk on my hip. I woke up this morning and i can barley move my leg. It hurts so much in the groin and on the hip itself. There is no bruising, but slight swelling and mild stiffness. Should I go to a hospital?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes surely you should see the orthopedician asap as in accident cases that involves hip region the delicate part of femur bone which is called as neck of femur gets undisplaced fracture which causes pain and stiffness dont walk much and lie straight and use walker if you are required to walk don't put pressure on injured limb as due to pressure things might get complicated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
