I have a bruise on my side, and it hurts really bad. Any way to help it stop hurting and get better quickly?

My brother opened the tailgate of our truck just as I was walking by. I've got a bruise on my side right above my hipbone about an inch in diameter. I've had it about 4 days now and it looks exactly the way it did 4 days ago. Is there any way to help it stop hurting, and go away. It's right in a place where anytime I brush up against something it'll hurt really bad for about 30 minutes. It's driving me crazy. So any help will be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
If the bruise is the same color you may have a more serious injury. You may have broken or at least cracked a hip bone. You really should at least get a x-ray, especially if the bruise is not getting better. Try icing it every 15 minutes. for about 4 hours for the next couple of days. If it doesn't improve get a x-ray as soon as possible.
