Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
almost 10 days ago I fell on my hip. The pain hasn t let up at all, I can walk, with a limp. too much time on my feet and sitting really hurt bad on the side and bottom of my left hip. I just finished 38 treatments of radiation for prostate cancer about 7 months ago and had nerves burned in my lower spine only a few days before the fall. any advice?
A hip fracture can occur and someone can still walk on it. This is far more likely with age and cancer. so, an x ray and evaluation is recommended for someone whose hip pain stays more than a few hours after a fall. Can be a bruised muscle other structure outside of the joint (warm soaks best) or something broken internally. Unfortunately on the hip it isn't that guaranteed you can tell which spot the pain is from. Most other spots you can tell inside from outside but not hip.
