Hi,
I was wondering that when I fell about 2 weeks ago, if i could've broken my hip. I've been to the Chiropractor for adjustments but the pain the last 2 days is incredible. I can hardly walk or put any pressure on that side of my body? Should i go to the hopsital?

yes...

to be sure that you don't have any fractures, there should be tests like X-ray.
