Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Hip Caused By A Fall

I fell in the surf yesterday and landed hard on my hip. Now the outside of my hip hurts even though there is no bruise. I sleep on that side and it is very painful. If I walk it out the pain goes away but when i am sitting still and the get up the soreness returns

Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

In my opinion, first please get one X-RAY done, of the hips to rule out any fracture.

To relieve pain, you can take a good analgesic containing Paracetamol and Aceclofenac, twice daily after food, for 5 days, in case you have no known allergies.

Apply hot compress over the affected ( painful ) area, it can give you some relief from pain.

Try to sleep on your back , till your pain subsides.

Do not do heavy work outs or lift anything heavier.

Hope i have answered your question. If you have any questions, then i will be happy to answer it.

Take good care.

Warm Regards.
