Suggest Treatment For Pain In Hip And Leg After A Fall

I fell a few days ago at home, and fell on my left hip bone. It was very sore that night but the next day was not so bad. The next couple of days were bad also but tolerable. Friday I did some walking outside the hone and the next day I got up with real bad pain coming down my left leg, so bad that I can not stand on that leg.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should definitely consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and x ray of the affected hip joint to rule out fracture or hairline Crack.
Your symptoms like worsening pain after few days and with walking are seen with hip fracture.
So get done x ray as soon as possible.
Avoid weight bearing on that leg. Take proper bed rest and immobilization of that hip is required.
If it is fracture then you will need surgical repair otherwise bed rest and immobilization will heal the muscle injury.
So consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
