Can Falling Down The Stairs Causes Further Injury To A Labrum Tear In Hip?

I have a labrum tear in my right hip which has hampered my mobility quite a lot and causes considerable pain usually helped by 250mg tramadol. However due to my mobility issue I fell down the stairs yesterday didn t feel too bad afterwards but from last night the pain is horrendous! Could I have further damage?
