Suggest Treatment For Pain And Bruising Of The Hip After A Fall
Hi, i slipped over on polished flooring and banged my hip quite hard, there is no brusing come up but i have pain walking and sitting too long in my hip and lower back since falling. I havent seen a doctor but am concerned as the pain isnt going away its getting worse but no bruise showing.
Dear patient, thank you for your question. As an immediate measure i suggest ibuprofen 800mg twice a day and ice the area of the hip affected. However i would be remiss if i did not inform you that to rule out a fracture you should get an xray done as soon as possible
