Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell a week ago on a brick sidewalk when it was raining. When I fell I bruised my hip and that pain went away after a couple of days but I m the middle of my thigh I have this dull ache when I walk or stand. Should I see a doctor about this or is it likely something that will go away?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Chances of getting fractured are somewhat higher in girls. So please get X-ray done according to orthopedician’s advice if you are girl. Secondly minor pain beneath bruises after week is suggestive of muscle soreness and deep inflammation. Take tablet Diclofenac + Chlorzoxazone 12 hourly for 2 days.
If the problem persists, consult Orthopaedician for further examination.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Hiren Hirpara
