Hello and welcome to HCM,
The fall has lead to formation of hematoma.
Fall on ground also causes muscular pain.
Muscular pain can be responsible for the pain and inability to walk.
Thus, it is important to take rest.
Pain-killers along with muscle relaxants will help to relieve the pain and discomfort.
Hot fomentation over the affected area will also help to relive the pain and soreness.
Thanks and take care
