There is mild edema of gluteus max and medius, obturator internus, and adductor muscles. Can I wait for it to resorb? I still can t walk without pain and have had at least 2 severe pain episodes.

Yes, you can continue to walk with painkillers and wait for the swelling to resorb . The swelling will resorb gradually over few weeks at least
