<s>[INST] Hit a rock really hard the other day while rafting...seriously thought I broke something in my hip/buttocks area. Goose egg swollen and bruised under my left butt cheek. Can still walk, but hard to sit down. Should I get an x-ray, or did I just bruise it very badly? [/INST] Hello, It could be a contusion probably. Fracture is unlikely. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. You can apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and get an X-ray done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
