Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Severe Pain And Swelling In Place Of Hip And Thigh Joint. History Of Fall From Horse. Possible Fracture?
I flew off a horse today pretty fast into the dirt and landed on the socket that connects your hip and thigh. I felt immediate pain and swelling and by the hours, it seemed worse. I can walk, but with a limp. Im limited to certain motions so I am not sure if there is a fracture? Should I be getting this checked? It happen early this morning and I have been in best rest the rest of the day.
Welcome to Health care magic.Yes,it would be best to get X-rays of the Pelvis and the affected hip joint to rule out fractures.A consultation with your doctor /Orthopaedic Surgeon would help.Please do not use the injured limb till fractures are ruled out.
