What Causes Bruises In Hip & Knee With Painful Movement?
Hi. So I m a runner and I have good running shoes, but recently my left knee will have a killer pain in it. Also, my left hip feels like it s bruised right on top of the bone in only one place and it hurts to touch it or move it a lot. What is wrong and what can I do about it?
Hello runner! Your sports activities have caused a certain amount of degeneration of the joints with possibility of a cartilage tear in the knee. Its possible the same has occurred in the hip. This calls for rest a to the affected parts .You may use pain medications like diclofenac or piroxicam along with muscle relaxants. This should be followed by xrays or an MRI to locate the damage.Treatment will be according to the findings in the MRI.Good luck !
