What Causes Severe Hip/buttock Pain After Falling Down?

Good morning, I have chronic back and neck pain which is being treated by a nerve stimulator. This was working great until I had a fall down 8 stairs. I landed on my right buttock /hip region. It has been 6 weeks since I had my fall, I have been in a lot of pain , thinking I may have cracked my hip bone the doctor did xrays - no fracture. The doctor then did an ultra sound - no result. I have now returned to my pain specialist who changed the programming on my stimulator, I am now into day 10 and have used 2 different programs - no result. When I walk, it sometimes buckles me over in pain, I can t sleep on my right side as it hurts if I lay on it for periods at a time. What else could it be? Thanks Jo

Sometimes neck femur Fractures can be missed. Get an MRI to be sure. Apply ice, keep the limb elevated. Avoid complete weight bearing if it hurts to bear weight on that limb.
