Hello,

As you fell on your hip, there is a chance that you might have cracked or fractured your bone or may have just a concussion wound. If you have just hurt your hip, you should rest and give some time to muscles and bones to absorb the shock and settle down. Ice application in the area can help. However, concussion wounds should not give this excruciating pain while rolling in bed provided your pain threahold is high.

I don't know how much time has elapsed since you have taken ibuprofen as it might take about half an hour to start effects. If you start finding relief in some time, you can continue taking Ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for 3-4 days till the concussion heals. However, if you find swelling in the area, seeing an orthopaedic surgeon for physical examination is a must as swelling is a cardinal sign of fractured bone.

If more time has elapsed since taking Ibuprofen and still you are not finding any relief, you should see an orthopaedic surgeon to get an x-ray done of the area. If it is cracked or fractured bone, treatment can bring you relief.

I hope this informatiom helps. Thank you for choosing HealthCareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
