What Causes Swelling And Pain Above The Hip Bone After An Injury?
I fell while working in the yard and landed against a rock and the well. I have brusing up my right side, however it s doesn t hurt. What hurts is the area 2 above my hip bone. It is swollen and painful when I sit or reposition myself. Could there be internal bleeding?

Hello,
This sounds like you either have a small contusion to the area or maybe a small hematoma. Either way it will resolve 100%. Apply some heat to the area if its more than 48 hours since the injury and take ibuprofen if its painful.
Nothing to worry about. See your doctor if it gets worse.
Best wishes,
