Not Medical Advice:
SportsInjuryClinic.net advises patients to begin treatment by resting, applying ice and compression to the injury. Ice or cold therapy can be applied for 10 minutes every hour initially reducing frequency as required. You can also take anti-inflammatory medications. This will help to reduce or limit any pain, inflammation and swelling
This may be difficult with a hip pointer, but if you are lying down, try putting pillows under your pelvis to elevate your hips. Crutches can be used in the initial treatment phase if walking or bearing weight on the affected leg is painful.
Visit a sports injury professional who can fully assess the injury to rule out any complications.
A hip pointer is bruising caused by a fall or a direct blow to the iliac crest, or front and top of the pelvis. This bruising is not always visible and may actually occur deep below the skin. The majority for these types of injuries are seen in contact sports.
