10 Hip Fracture Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: Pain in the Hip
One of the most telling things about a hip fracture is the pain that a person will experience after the injury occurs. In many cases, the pain will be immediate and quite severe, striking the hip region (the side of the body below the navel where the bone can be felt by applying pressure).
In some cases, people may go into shock shortly after experiencing a hip fracture. This tends to occur after a serious injury like a car crash or something else that can shock the body out of its normal state. This can be dangerous because a person might walk on their injured hip and aggravate the injury.
