My bike slipped out from under me when I hit an icy patch a week ago. A massive bruise formed over my greater trochanter and the coloration spread all around my thigh, but there wasn t too much pain. 6 days after the fall, I started getting intermittent sharp stinging pain from my thigh. The pain is so intense that I can t stand on or move that leg much, and this lasts for minutes to a couple hours at a time. Is it normal for pain to kick in days after an injury, or is this some sign of a complication? Also, is it typical to have symptoms of whiplash develop a week after a hard fall?
