Hi,
Sharp pain in the hip can be caused by a variety of reasons such as
muscle strain, inflammation, injury, arthritis, or even
referred pain from the lower back. Here are some remedies that you can try to relieve the pain:
* Rest: Avoid activities that aggravate the pain and rest for a few days.
* Ice or heat: Apply an ice pack or a
heating pad to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
* Over-the-counter pain relievers: Over-the-counter pain medications such as
Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, or Naproxen can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
* Stretching: Gentle stretching exercises can help improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension.
* Physical therapy: Consult a physical therapist who can guide you through specific exercises to relieve pain and strengthen the muscles.
If the pain persists or worsens despite these remedies, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
