Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
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
I find this answer helpful
