  • Im not sure if I've fractured my hip, I can put my weight on it but I get a shooting pain, or if im sat down and then stand up it is agonising. I fell backwards skateboarding and had a really hard impact. What do you think I've done?

  • @xSpeciality I would go get it checked out especially if you get shooting pain when you put a weight on it. The doctor might just tell you to stay off of it and get some rest, but at least you'll be sure that nothing is wrong.
