A member asked:

I have hip pain after falling two days ago... any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heat for now.: If you're able to comfortably walk on that hip, then heat and NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) may be the answer. Heating pad for 15 minutes every few hours. If this doesn't help, or if you're really having trouble walking, then you may need an X-ray or MRI.
