Hip Pain, Cannot Lie And Straighten Leg When In Bed, Walks With Moderate Pain. Reason?
Monday I sat in my recliner for about 1 hr. When I went to get up my right hip had severe pain and I could not bear weight. After using a crutch and easing into walking I can do so without the crutch.The pain lessens and I can walk with moderate pain.
This is still happening today. When in bed I can not lay and try to move my leg straight. I do have a walking boot on the left leg as well. Any help appreciated.

Hello,
The history is more in favour of hip involvement. It may be musculoskeletal strain or arthritis of the hip joint.
Rest, Physiotherapy and analgesic may help in relieving the pain.
If the pain still persist then you may need an MRI of the the hip and an orthopedic consultation.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
From the given description, I suspect that you could have suffered a Groin strain.
The general recommendations are as follows -
* REST - It is important to rest following the injury to allowed the injured muscle to properly heal.
* STRETCHING - Gentle stretching is helpful, but it should not be painful.
* ICE PACKING - Apply ice to the injured area in the acute phase (first 48 hours after injury), and then after activities. Ice will help calm the inflammatory response and stimulate blood flow to the area.
* MOIST HEAT APPLICATION - Before activities, gentle heating can help loosen the muscle. Apply a heat pack to the groin prior to stretching or exercising. As a general rule of thumb, remember to heat before an activity and ice afterwards
* ANTIINFLAMMATORY MEDICATION - Oral anti-inflammatory medications (such as Ibuprofen, Aleve, or Motrin) can help relieve symptoms of pain and also calm the inflammation.
* PHYSICAL THERAPY - may speed up the recovery process. Therapeutic modalities such as Ultrasound, Massaging and specific exercises will be helpful.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day

You may take ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day after meals. Do hot fomentation of hip and try to rest as much possible in bed for 3 days in a position of utmost ease in comfortable posture
