Suggest Treatment For Bruised Hip And Pain In Shin
hello! i was playing a friendly parent vs children (5yr olds) soccer game and i went to redirect the ball which caused myself to twist and instantly my hip felt bruised! Hurts to walk and it also has a shooting pain which started down thigh but is now in shin instead of thigh! I am also pregnant. Do you think i should do anything other than ice it?

Because of the hormones of pregnancy, your soft tissue is more relaxed and more prone to injury. So, the tissue is likely simply inflamed, and would benefit from ice, as you have been doing, and topical over-the-counter rubs. You could also take Tylenol, but do not take any anti-inflammatories (such as advil/alleve) as they are contraindicated during pregnancy. And of course, stay off your feet for at least the day, and things should resolve shortly.
