Brief Answer:
Problem with joint inflamation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.

As I understand it you have pain in the hip of the side that you fell before, right?

The pain you are describing its typical of a joint pain. Moving the joint causes the pain.

If I was your caring doctor I would recommend using an anti-inflammatory painkiller regularely for 2-3 weeks like Ibuprofen 400mg 3 times/day.
You can combine using a local cream analgesic about 3-4 times/day.
Keep being active but stop and rest if you have pain.
It will need around 6 weeks for it to get completely better. You can consider physical therapy if that is possible for you.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
