I fell in the shower and hit my hip on the side of the tub. I already have a torn disc in that hip as well. It feels like my hip is on fire, and there was a bruise and swelling within minutes. This happened approximately 30 mins ago... should I see a doctor?

Take anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or naproxen. However if things are not improving in 2-3 days you might require a X-ray and further examination by an orthopedic surgeon.
