severe pain on my hip :-(

Its been a long year ago since i had an accident. i was hit by a car. the impact was on my right hip.. i didnt feel anything then so i didnt have check up. i thought i was okay. then after years had gone i am feeling so much pain on my right hip. Especially when its cold and i walk too much. i just want to ask, do you think ii have a fracture or what? its really very painful i just wanted tto lay down :-(

Sorry to hear about the accident and the pain that you are in. The pain could be from the hip or your back if the accident caused any discs to become damaged or any spinal slippage etc. I would definitely get in for some x-rays at least and then an mri if the x-rays can't tell what's going on. I hope that you find some relief soon.

but what if it was years ago? is that still possible???

Hello Inso and many small fractures go unnoticed even with xrays. As time goes by those small fractures have arthritis set up in them at joints or just never heal correctly and cause pain especially in cold damp weather.

You didnt say how old you were then or how old you are now but many changes occur as we age as a natural process and any old broken bones and fractures tend to give us more problems as the years accumulate.

I would certainly like the others said get in somewhere and get some pics of that hip and a good round of P/T and an anti-inflam med. Have you tried applying one of the heat patches and a larger dose of Ibuprophen?

Try to get in and get that looked at as if those are changes due to old F or aging process there are things to slow that down some and at the very least make you more comfortable.

hi.. yes i put patches on it. i got hit by a car years and years ago..and i thought i was okay so i didnt get any check up on my hip. i didnt feel any pain at all tthat time. It was when i was 14 and now i am 20. i never feel anything bad about it except tthat i feel a little pain in cold weathers.. but last week i walked long walks. really long walk then it hurt so bad. And i dont understand why my hip hurt so bad.. unbearable pain it makes me cry and just wanna lay down. it was six years ago.. do you have any clue or idea of what is it? before i go have an xray .. i just wanna hear some advice thank you vickie

My mother had a boating accident where the seat broke and she fell back. She went to the er that day but they didn't find anything. Twenty years later it was found that her back was broken. She had to have surgery and has pins and plates now. It is very painful for her everyday. She is 77. This happened in her 40's.

Things get missed everyday!! Hope you find out what is going on with your hip.

It happened to her that long? Aweee now im getting scared. i might having arthritis or something. wish i could have xray or check up but i have to take care of some stuffs at work and school.. please pray for me

sorry to hear this, I would recommend a MRI to be sure of any substantial damage.

I understand the hurt, most of my cancer pain radiates from my right hip (originally) and extends down to my knee, it has since spread to both hips, both legs, and all my lower back, so I know how much that can hurt.

you definitely need to get an official dx so you can be treated or medicated properly

good luck,

david

ISMP...

I'm w/ everyone - you really need to go in... get some images done and see what's going on. You won't know what's going on until you do this..... Once you get an official diagnosis - you can move on to getting properly treated.

It sounds like you have other stuff going on (work and school)... but I would encourage you to make your health a priority, too!

Take care --Tina

thank you maam tina.. God bless you.

If you had a fracture at the time of the accident, it's probably healed itself by now, BUT you could have secondary fractures from the hip healing improperly. Also, like nvr said, arthritis could have set in at the fracture site, or the area could be weakened, any number of things.

Best to get those images done and see what's what.

thank you so much for your advice. God bless you

was just thinking, or there could be nerve damage evolving, with or without any evidence of an original fracture. again, the right kind of scan may shed some light on what you are dealing with, and with that, then treatment can be determined.

good luck getting an answer and then a solution, so you can greatly improve your pain situyation

david, again

i took some pain medicine sir. the pain has been lessen. do yyou think i still should have an xray? or its alright now?
