What Causes Recurrent Sharp Left Sided Hip Pain?

Hi Doctor, I have a sharp pain on my left hip every time I get up from sitting down or to bend and pick up things or even when I moved when I m lying down. It started a month ago. I didn t have any accident nor hit my hip with anything. We had been sleeping on a hard floor for almost two months now. We just moved into our apartment. Can this be the case or something else?

Hi,

The sharp pain on hop joint you have seems to be sciatica, which can be triggered by sleeping Ng on a hard & cold surface (provided you never had such a complaint before).

Maybe the stress while shifting to a new place had been the cause You should take rest, foment the painful part, take over the counter pain pill like Ibuprofen over the counter.

If there is no relief in a week's tome, you should consult an orthopedic surgeon & get investigated to exclude hip joint or spinal problem followed by specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
