Brief Answer:
Take analgesics such as ibuprofen/diclofenac

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
XXXX
I,m Dr Sudhir Kumar,

After going through your query I concluded that you got soft tissue injury hip.You have not mentioned when you got injured.

For this treatment is.
1.Rest till pain subsides.
2.Analgesic such as ibuprofen/diclofenac.
3.Thrombophobe gel for local application so that bruise heals early.

If you are not able to bear weight on limb(leg)then fracture in hip joint region can be there and you may need to x-ray done to exclude fracture .You can discuss with your treating doctor regarding this.

Hope I answered your query.If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
