Upper Hip Hurt After Skating On Ice, Painful Lump. What Can Heal Sooner?
Hi there, I fell on my upper hip whilst ice staking a week ago. There was an instant winding pain at the time and now there is a painful lump after the bruising has gone down. Can you please tell me if this will go down naturally and if I should seek further help or is this normal after a fall on that area. It s the upper front right bone of the hip

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury . Painful lump might be due to haematoma formation(collection of blood).
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Meanwhile you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta.
