Hi Im a 55 year old female. I slipped and fell on my bottom three days ago. The pain was bad but it seems to increase day by day. I tried all antinflamatories but it eases the pain just a little and then it comes back worse than ever. Strangely enough the worst pain is on my right side. Down my right leg and into my groin. The nights ar the worst. I cannot get up or change positions. Its really very sore. Did i do much damage? Thank you so much. Magdaleni
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you had a fall on the hip and the pain is persistent on right side, I suspect it to be a soft tissue Injury for which taking an MRI for the lumbar spine will add-on some understanding. Also, the pain you are facing down the leg from the hip it looks pinching of nerve due to soft tissue Injury. Besides, try performing some core stability exercises, pelvic floor exercises, spine Strengthening exercises, gluteus Strengthening exercises and lower limb as a whole Strengthening exercises. Usually 99% of the cases recover with exercise. Also, as you mentioned your age as 55 and female, you need an additional calcium supplement which can be fulfilled by either of it - milk, curd, medicine etc. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
