    Default Right side of hip in slight pain, help.....

    Earlier on today, come off my bike doing about 35-40mph and landed pretty heavy on my hip, leaving a huge lump on my hip/very top of thigh. Have no trouble walking, crouching, standing on leg even jumping is fairly easy, just lump is irritating me and moving my leg around in a circle and opening up 45degrees, if you know what I mean? This only happened about 8 hours ago and was wondering what the best thing to do is. really hope it's not fractured, just hoping it's a heavy knock and will heal in the next few days.... any ideas?

    I really doubt there is a fracture if you can jump on the leg!
    It is more than likely a contusion and should heal on it's own. Just apply ice and compression and rest it in an elevated position as much as possible.
    If it doesn't improve within 3-4 days then go to your Doctor. Or if there are any new symptoms from it
