siatic nerve? hip injury

I flew off of a 4 wheeler - xrays determined I did not have any broken bones however my hip is very swollen - where ever there is swelling, I don't have any feeling. I also can't put full weight on one leg. Should I be concerned or is this just going to take some time to wait for the swelling to go down?

Thanks
Justine
