How To Cure Bruise And Swelling Of Hip Due To An Injury?
I fell in the shower and hit my hip on the side of the tub. I already have a torn disc in that hip as well. It feels like my hip is on fire, and there was a bruise and swelling within minutes. This happened approximately 30 mins ago... should I see a doctor?
