Bad Contusion And Bleeding In Hip After Falling On Ice. Can The Injury Be Permanent?

I slipped and fell on ice yesterday as I was walking on the side walk towards my apartment home, I remember taking 3 or 4 steps and it happened so fast that I smacked the ice really hard and it effected my left knee and left hip, I went to E.R. the pain was really bad, I was crying and could barely walk on it. X-rays showed bad contusion and was bleeding some on left hip and I guess nothing on the knee even though its aching really bad today. It is possible that this hip injury could be permanent?

No it is not permanent but i recommend another x ray after 1 week as some crack fractures only show up on x ray 1 week later
Good Luck
