Hip bruise

ALEX

Question: What is a hip
pointer?
Answer: A hip pointer is painful
bruise resulting from a blow to the
upper edge of the hip. You know it as
the ridge along your hip that is just
below your belt or skirt line. When
you feel this area with your hand,
you will notice this part of the hip is
very exposed and has only a layer of
skin to protect it.
Hip pointers most often occur
from some kind of blow in contact
field athletics, such as football and
soccer. The injury can be caused by
another player’s football helmet, a
hardball, a rough fall, or a kick re-
ceived after a fall. The visible bruise
is evidence of bleeding below the
skin. There may also be warmth,
swelling, and direct tenderness.
Like most bruises, there is pain
right at the bruise from the impact
itself. However, the injury may be
more serious. If the outer side of the
hip has been injured, muscle tears or
strains may have occurred. They
may be leg muscles that affect run-
ning and walking. In this case, the
pain may be so severe that it can
limit further play and may require
the player to limp off the field.
Abdominal muscles that are
attached to the upper ridge of the hip
can also be injured. Bleeding within
these muscles can cause them to
spasm. This spasm action can be
rather dramatic and cause the front
of the body to go rigid. Someone
who has experienced this version of
hip pointer injury may have difficulty
breathing, laughing, or coughing. To
the inexperienced eye, it may seem
the person has a more serious inter-
nal injury or illness.
Medical attention should be
sought, especially when the injury is
very painful or spasms occur. Typi-
cally, the treatment will be RICE

Lady Eagles at top
of district race
By GEORGE WATSON
Sports writer
The anticipated matchup between
two of the three District 6-5A lead-
ers in volleyball didn’t disappoint
those in attendance — except those
wearing red.
After dropping the first game, / ,
Allen varsity volleyball team rallied !
to defeat Marcus, 11-15, 15-9, 15-
11, and eliminate the Lady Maraud-
ers from the tie for the top spot in
the district. The Lady Eagles, now
22-4 overall and 8-1 in district, re- |
main tied with Grapevine going into
Tuesday’s matchup on the Lady
Mustangs’ home court.
“It was a long night,” Coach Kel-
ley Sievert said. “We didn’t com-
municate a whole lot in the first gat
and played out of control, not work-
ing together as a team. In the second
game we eliminated those mistakes
and dominated. I told them the third
game would be one of endurance
both mentally and physically. We had
our serves working and Marcus just
fell apart.”
The win over the Lady Marauders
avenged the only blemish on an
otherwise perfect district record f
Allen. The season, however, is tar
from over and the Lady Eagles can ill
afford another slip at this point.
“We’re still tied with Grapevine,
