Leg Twisted, Got Sharp Pain In Hip, Painful To Walk. Should I Go For Medical Treatment?
I was shaving my legs in the shower and balancing on my right leg while my left leg was resting on the tub. I twisted around behind me to reach something and heard a pop and felt a sharp pain in my right hip - almost the groin area. Did I pull something, tear something, or what? It is VERY painful to walk. do I need to seek medical treatment or just rest or ice it?

I think at present there is no need to rush to emergency. You take rest, take tablet Brufen and apply ice. It will be fine in 2 days. If after that the pain persist then you can go to a orthopaedic surgeon. it looks like that you had some muscle sprain and nothing very serious.
