Bruised Hip Due To Falling Backwards, Took Aleve. Any Specific Treatment To Help Pain ?
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.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having heavy strain on hip joint giving rise to this problem.
Continue with Alove tablet.
If require take analgesic with some muscle relaxant tablets.
Do hot fomentation 2-3 days.
Apply some analgesic cream locally.
give rest to the part.
ok and take care.
