Hip: Most people consider their hip pointer as their hip bone, so if this is the part that was injured,most of the time the protective bursa shields the bone and therefore preventing a fracture. One typically gets some bleeding into that bursa which can become distended,hence firm lumpy and painful . Rest ,use ice and avoid activities for 36-48 hours. If you begin having sharp groin pain ,get an xrayi
