Hi,
If x-rays showed no sign of a fracture, then something else must be going on to cause the pain. There could be inflammation, which would not be seen on an x-ray. X-rays only show a fracture. You may need a CT scan or a MRI to diagnose the cause of the pain. With a fractured hip, you would be unable to bear weight, walk or stand without severe pain.
