AT your age you need an examination to see what is going on. I always tell my patients your age: We are all just a fall away from a nursing home. Ask about using a cane or walker to minimize this risk and ask about exercises to minimize your risk of falling and how to organize your house to minimize this risk. Good luck.

When you fell you could’ve bruised your sciatic nerve which travels along your buttocks posteriorly down your leg. You need to give this time to heal as well as with the muscle. That could be injured and putting pressure on the sciatic nerve as well. Your hip abductors located in that area .
