Hello there, I fell backwards today while stepping off a step-stool today and landed somewhat sideways on my buttocks and hip. I'm 52, 6'1", 260 lbs. I think I just bruised my hip and walking is painful and well as lying on my left side. Pain can be up to an 8. It becomes stiffer if I am inactive for an hour or so and more painful to start walking. If seems to be better if I stay on my feet for a few minutes. There is not much on the internet that addresses this specific problem. I took 2 Aleve an hour ago but it isn't much, if any, better. Is it okay if I take a wait and see attitude or do you have any specific treatment that will aid my agony? Thanks.
