Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Painful Hip And Difficulty Walking Post Injury?
My 5 year old son fell at school this morning at school. He tripped and landed half in the sand box and half out. His hip bone landed right on the wood side of the sandbox. I received a call from his school saying that he had been walking funny and complaining of pain. When he got home from school at 4:00, he was still in a fair amount of pain. His posture is different due to favouring his soar hip. My question is should I take him to the walk in clinic, or hospital tonight, or wait and see how he feels in the morning.
Hi...hip injuries should never be neglected to the end arteries that are supplying the femoral head. I suggest you take him to a medical facility immediately and get him examined. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
