General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I suggest you to get an xray of the pelvis. This will help in treating better as a fracture may need rest to heal considering your age. Also you have not mentioned the duration of the time since fall. I advise to take naproxen only when you have pain and not continuously.
