Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Hip

Posted on Fri, 27 Jan 2017

Question: I hurt my right hip area lifting my right leg trying to mount my bicycle. The pain is about the center of the upper part of my leg just below my hip bone and is isolated to one area. As I touch the area, the pain is in a specific area. I cannot lie on my right side and it hurts when I walk - in the same spot where I is when I press on it.

Brief Answer:
Please get an X-ray of the hip.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It seems you have sprain around your hip or may be hairline fracture.

So get xray of hip joint in AP and Lateral view and send me the report.

Till then have Cap. Rabeprazole 20mg twice daily on empty stomach, Tab Aceclofenac 100mg+ Thiocolchicoside 4mg twice a day (please obtain the necessary prescription from your local physician).

Please try to avoid riding bicycle, squatting as much as you can for the time being.

Above medications you can take for 7 days.

Apply hot packs.

I hope it helps,

Thanks,
