Sharp Pain In Left Hip While Standing. Doing Workout In Gym. Cause Of Pain?
I am a 50 year old healthy female who enjoys gym workouts to include cardio and resistance training. I have recently been experiencing sharp pain upon standing in my left hip half way between the ASIS and pubus which reduces only when I abduct or externally rotate my hip joint during standing and walking. Every time I have to stand up from the chair, I am anxious about the pain, since it is inconsistent. What is the cause of the pain?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Pain in your hip seems to be due to muscle strain and spasm.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
