Can A Pain In The Side After A Fall Indicate Fracture?

Hi, 9 days ago, I slipped n fell on a slippery toilet floor, there was a sharp pain immediately after the fall. For the next three days, I experienced pain in my left side of my vuttwhen I tried to get up after sitting or shifting my position. 4th day on wards it was better un that I don't have too much if such pain. However, I feel a sharp pain when u bend down, climbing steps, especially steep ones , bend forward or get up from a squatting position. The pain is on my left side of my butt, I feel something sharp jabbing on this side. The pain ease after a few seconds. Also, when I sleep on my back, there is something jabbing me on the left butt. Do I have a facture or something else? Can it heal with time on its own or do I need to seek medical help?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

What you are experiencing could definitely be a fracture depending on your age and gender. Its possible you are more prone to a fracture than someone else. Since your symptoms are indicative of fracture and painful with activity I would definitely recommend x-ray as first line of treatments.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
