General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Some advice that I can give to you is:

-Avoid the activities that cause the pain.
-Applying an ice pack to the area where you are feeling the pain can reduce inflammation and make your hip feel better.
-Compression and elevation can help.
-Take weak opioid painkillers such as Codeine. These are usually, added to another painkiller such as Paracetamol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
