How To Treat Bruise And Pain In Hip Caused Due To A Fall?

Hello, I am a 65 year old female. about 10 days ago I tripped and fell landing really hard on my right hip/thigh resulting in a bruise size of a grapefruit. When I fell it felt like my insides (lower abdomen) area really took a major jolt. About 5 days later and still today (5 days after fall) I have continuous pain the left side of my lower abdomen and groin area. It especially hurts when I walk. I have been using a heating pad every night for that area an taking alieve twice a day for past week. To add to this I had a physical recently and my doctor called me at home to say my urinalysis results were not normal and thought I probably have a urinary track infection and to go back for a 2nd urinalyses this week. So, Not sure if the fall is causing the pain options r could it be that It is a urinary track infection? I had no physical symptoms until the fall. I was only going to the lab for the test but wonder if I should try to see my doctor too? Prior to my fall I was also just diagnosed with Osteopenia in my hips and osteoporosis in my spine. I sure hate the aging process.
