How To Treat Hip Pain After A Fall?

Hey doc, landed on my hip today on concrete while skateboarding. On the initial fall the pain was very sore but i could still move around it was just a very sharp pain that subsided after a minute. it s been about 2 hours and I can walk, but it is a little painful and i walk with a limp there is a little red mark from where my hip impacted, it s not painful when I touch it but I can feel it. What do you think I have and what is your reccomended course of action? , I hope it s nothing to serious because im leaving for a holiday in a week!

Dear Patient,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, the recommended course of action for you should be to get an X Ray of the hip done to see if there is any bony injury to the hip or the pelvic blade region, if that rules out negative than you will need to take some rest and let the soft tissue heal, also take anti inflammatory medications, and see the effect .
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks
