Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Right Hip And Above The Right Ankle

I have been experiencing hip pain on the right side as well as pain above right ankle. Both are exacerbated when I bend down as to pull on a sock or tie a shoe. Symptoms do not seem to be relieved with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. The best relief seems after being active for a period of time or after applying a heating pad, especically to my right hip and the pain seems to be deep in the joint.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in the right hip and above the right ankle . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to nerve injury , pinched , arthritis or compressed nerve ( Sciatica ) , which may occur due to your disc bulged problem . I would suggest you to continue exercises , apply hot compresses on hip and ankle and take proper rest . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray , CT scan and MRI . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory and recommend particular type of stretching exercise or physical therapy . Doctor may also recommend surgery in case of hip or disc problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
