Could something be wrong?

Question

saturday night I tripped going up my stairs and bruised my hip extremely, it goes around my entire right hip bone its black, deep red, and very purple and it hurts to lay on my right side and sometimes to walk, should I make a dr.'s appt. for it or is it nothing to worry about, could I have just sprained it even though Iam walking on it at times?

♥ Thanks!♥

Answer 1

You'd have all of your answers if you went ahead and saw a doctor.  He may also give you something for the discomfort - it sounds really painful!  If nothing else it will ease your mind to find out exactly what you did to yourself!  Good luck!  

Answer 2

Hmm definitely go to doc's could be any number of things, bruised bone fracture or even a clot. Just get checked to make sure.

Answer 3

well, i don't think u sprained your hip bone, and i don't think its serious enough to see a doctor for, because they probably can't do anything for bruises. but if it really bothers u, u should take some pain medication, put some icy hot on it a just chill out until it starts to heal.it hurts so much right now because it just happened, but it should almost be gone within a mounth

Answer 4

def go to the doc. its not worth getting some kind of major infection because of it....sounds like a fracture of some kind to me, the deep red may be because of an infection so the sooner the bettter k.

Answer 5

yeah you should see a doctor

sounds like you might have a fracture

Answer 6

See a doctor and get it looked at, you may just have a severe bruise but you could have a fracture. But you will not know unless you get it x rayed. But a severe bruise such as you describe may need treatment.

Answer 7

Go to the doc. You need an x-ray now. It is possible to walk with a fractured hip. You neetdd to find out right now.
