Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your X-ray findings are suggestive of inflammatory changes around symphysis pubis which is responsible for the sudden pain you had recently.
Adequate rest and NSAIDs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen are the mainstay of treatment till the acute pain subsides.
In severe cases, oral steroids and local steroid injections at the affected joint are also helpful in reducing the inflammation.
You need to consult your orthopedician for a detailed evaluation and necessary medicines. Physiotherapy is helpful once the acute pain subsides.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
