Can A Hip Fracture Be Confirmed Without An X-ray Report?

I would like to know if it s even possible to break your knee, or some other part within the knee. Also, is there any way to confirm whether you have a hip fracture, without an x-ray. I have been diagnosed with moderately advanced stage of osmosis. I had osteopenia very early on. Since I had a partial hysterectomy, my OB put me on Fosamax. Several months after I started taking it, it caused internal bleeding in me, It was so bad they couldn t get a BP on me, Rushed to the ER by an EMT from the doctor s office, 5 pints of blood were pumped into me. So, couldn t take any of the pills or shots to counteract it or slow it down. Next kicker was breast cancer - really can t go on anything now, So, with all of the above, most of the info you probably didn t need to know, I fell last night in my garage. It is a painted cement floor, I was rushing through with a lot of grocery bags hanging very heavily on one arm, my flip flop slid on the cement and couldn t catch myself because the grocery bags were so heavy, their weight is was caused me to fall on my right side. I really slammed the side of my knee, which have been a problem for me since I was a teenager.
