Is my hip/femur broken?

Hi there,

I am a 27 year old female. 3 days ago I tripped over a log and became airborne and landed directly on my right side onto hard ground. It was painful but nothing to stop me sleeping or cause me worry initially. The following morning the pain on my right side - upper thigh bone where it meets my pelvis - began to increase and was a little swollen. I am able to put weight on this leg, run, walk etc. But 3 days on and the area is unbeliveably tender, if i touch it in the slightest the pain is bad. The area only looks slightly bruised and still a little swollen. When I am sitting down the pain radiates to my butt cheek on this side and slightly in the lower right side of my back. Do you think the bone could be cracked/hairline fracture?

Thanks!

    You are in pain. Find out if you have a fracture by getting an x ray. That is the way to figure it out.
