Hello, Anon. Thank you for writing.

Symptoms of a hip or pelvic fracture include significant, sharp pain in the hip or groin and swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the skin at the site of the injury. Depending on the severity of the fracture, a broken bone may prevent you from putting any weight on the affected hip.

If you are severe pain, please seek medical care. Likely, an x-ray will be taken to check for a possible fracture.

best,

Helena
