Suggest Treatment For Severe Hip Pain

My hip hurts when I move my knee up to my chest. It stings really badly and it never goes away. The doctors said rest and I do but the pain comes back worse every time. Ive had this pain for years and it keeps getting worse. Im 21 years old and have no other medical problems!

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.


As per your symptoms there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do MRI of hip and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.

Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
Diet rich in calcium and protein will help.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
You should consult orthopaedic specialist for clinical examination and further management.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
