I can bend it and move it without any pain but i am not able to lift it up all the way. what could be causing this and is there anything i can do before seeing a doctor in the morning. As i am typing this moving all the fingers on my right hand to type is causing a slight crampy pain in my elbow...

Hello,

It may be due to hematoma with the lateral muscle of leg spasm or injury. Until examination is done it is difficult to say how serious it is.

Hematoma may subside within a period of few weeks. but if you're not able to lift your leg means consult your orthopedician he will examine and take X-ray of hip joint then treat you accordingly.

Use cold compression, use painkiller medication, avoid smoking.

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

Take care
