A member asked:

Can a bruise on your hip affect how you walk? i smashed it pretty hard againsts a metal bar and i think it is just bruised?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: But maybe more of what is going on under the bruise. If it was a large bruise, there could be some underlying inflammation, which can lead to swelling and pain. If you hit it hard, there could be a small fracture. Probably worth while getting it checked out. Hope this helps.
