Dear sir my grandfather fell yesterday in the bathroom and after that he has had constant pain in his left leg, left hip joint & lower body. The pain is such that we try to move pain increases however when he lays straight he feels comfort. Please help me what should I do.

He should be taken to Er and screening xrays should be done for bone injuries if any.Suitable splinting or immobilization should be done along with pain killers and anti-inflammatory.
