Suggest Remedy For Hip Pain After An Accident

I fell from a car when I was exiting and landed on my hip. It is quite painful/ Xray show no breaks. I had physical therapy 4 times but there does not seem to be any change in pain. I need a walker to get around otherwise I cannot put almost no weight right leg (injured leg) . When sitting down I have no pain whatsoever. I m an 82 year old male . I take Hydriconone for pain but it has n effect on the pain. Could a crack have been missed when reading the Xray ? What do you suggest I do?

Hi.

A crack can be missed some times, especially if the xray is not taken in the right angle and you can go ahead with a repeat xray from different angles just to make sure we rule that out. But we also need to take into consideration the fact that your age cannot tolerate mild injuries as well as you could a few years prior to this. So lets also allow your hip to rest and heal well enough without going about too much physical strain.

Best wishes.
