Could this be a hernia?!

About a year ago, I stepped off a dry creek bank backwards and thought I had a footing!. I ended up stepping down about 3 ft!. Within an hour, I couldn't hardly walk because my leg/hip/abdominal area hurt so bad!. I don't have insurance so I never went to the docter!. Now everytime I take too big of a step, I get a lot of pain!. Last night I went to catch a ball and stepped out just a bit too far and today I have had severe pains in my hip/abdominal area only on the left side!. Any ideas on what it could be!? Does it sound like a hernia!?
I think I'm gonna try to see the doc this week!.
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
