Hip Or Thigh Pain After A Fall
Hi, My daughter slipped and fell down a snow hill a couple of days ago. She says that when she walks her left hip feels stiff/painful,when she presses on her upper left thigh it hurts, and when she is lying down her hip feels funny. Oh, she is 13

Hello Dear,
I feel you should show your daughter to a clinician (Orthopaedician/ Orthopaedic Physical Therapist) for review.
An X-ray may be required to rule out any sort of a minor fracture or bony injury.
Immediate diagnosis is important to start the correct line of treatment and early & long term recovery.
Wishing her fast recovery
