Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In The Hips
Question: Hi my husband has had a pain that comes and goes for years. Not anything major as far as pain goes but it is irritating. It hurts mostly in the mornings. The pain is located about 1 inch veering left above his hip bone. He says it is deep inside not surface and when he pushes on it he burbs.
Brief Answer:
you start from what you already know
Detailed Answer:
Several features of pain can help identify the issues:
If it is progressing over time in any way, then a pain needs attention pretty rapidly, if it is improving or not changing over years, then attention is not so urgent. Then, you see what organs are in the area of the pain.

would be a listing of them.
If it is a muscle, then movement would increase it, but also generally, deep pressure would also trigger it. It is easier to reach muscle than kidney and you can't reach the spine. Kidney pain does not necessarily have urinary symptoms. Prostate problems can cause urine to back up into the kidney and cause pain.
The spleen is on the left and deep in, the liver is on the right and in the front.
Those would be the relevant parts. Imaging studies like CT can show the different organs and often show the cause of pain. Mostly all the causes would be treated like a muscle injry with over the counter aspirin drugs.
