Huge Bruising And Pain On Thigh & Hip After An Injury. Which Specialist Should I Consult?
HI. I am 51 years old and two and a half weeks ago I tripped over my cat and fell down a flight of 12 carpeted stairs. I had a huge bruise on my left upper thigh/hip, Most of the discoloration of the bruise is diminishing but I have swelling in the upper part of my hip and lower part of back. I can not lay on my left side and there is some pain getting up or moving around. I have tried both heat and ice. ice seems to feel better and have tried to stay off my feet. I have no idea what I could have done or if I need to see a doctor what type of Dr, should I go to.
