I fell of my skateboard and landed on my butt and now my right hip or lower back hurts should I be worried?

I would go get checked out. I fell on a chair and hit my ribs and my hip and my ribs broke and those hurt way worst than my back and hip so that was all they concentrated on. The dr felt my back but it was just sore and didn't seem to be too bad compared to my ribs. A month after I fell I want sick and coughing and felt a pop in my back and the next morning I couldn't do anything but lay on my left side. When I fell I herniated a couple discs in my back and then coughing caused one of the discs to slide putting pressure on my spinal cord and my sciatic nerve and when I woke that morning I couldn't sit, stand or do anything I laid on the floor with a towel between my legs trying to pee because I had to go but it hurt so bad to sit on the toilet once I made it there. I was off work 2 months one month of bed rest and another for physical therapy. Not trying to scare you, you could just be sore and bruised but I'm advising you to get checked because something little could get bigger if you don't get checked out. Had I pushed to get my back and hips checked I probly wouldn't have issues all the time now. My hips were knocked out of alignment and my left hip rotates and stiffens up and my right hip pops all the time and have daily back aches in which some days it's hard to go from sitting to standing.

When did you fall? Have you tried icing and resting your low back area? I wouldn't blow it off - you could have something as major as a fracture or as minor as a bruise. If you are having difficulty walking due to pain or any weakness/bowel/bladder issues, get it checked out sooner rather than later. If you are just rally sore, Ice it, rest, take some over-the-counter pain relievers if needed - if not better in a few days maybe have it checked out.

No. But bruises happen. Stretch it out and give it a week
