Hi, Yes it would be good if you get examined by a doctor for any possibility of fracture on your hip or back. You can apply ice on the swollen area and need to take rest till then. Avoid painful activities like sitting which can add on to the injury. You can take Tylenol for pain relief. Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
