What Does Pain From Hip To Lower Back Indicate?

Fell today from top of steps to bottom from black ice I didn't see. (4 steps in all) I keep getting this excruciating burning pain from my outer left hip up towards the left side of my lower back, more near the kidney area than the spine, and it feels like electrical fire. Could it be I'm out of alignment now and possibly pinching a nerve? In addition, when I touch over the area of my left hip, I feel very numb to the touch. Any suggestions? I appreciate your feedback, thank you!

if you are not able to walk or finding it really very difficult to bear weight then it can be a fracture of your hip joint.
also if bending forward or backward or any position is uncomfortable then you might Ave had fractured your back spine or the fall might have lead to a slipped disc.this can be confirmed on MRI.
In either case you need to take rest and apply over the counter pain relieving ointment.hot packs can be applied very 2 hrs.
hope you find this helpful.
