What Do Pain And Swelling In The Hips On The Left Side Indicate?
At noon I fell and now have a swollen left hip with some pain. It is now 4:54PM. I am Hosting a group tonight which will require sitting down for a considerable time. I plan to see Urgent Care for a review and X-Ray early in the AM. Am I making a mistake for not going to see the Doctor tonight? I am 84 and in reasonably good health.

It is very important foe a person of your age to immediately go and see the doctor because elderly people are more prone to develop osteoporosis hip fractures with a small injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
