Suggest Treatment For Hip Pain That Radiates To The Thighs

Posted on Thu, 3 Nov 2016

Question: When I stand, my left hip hurts to the point of not wanting to put weight on it. The pain radiates down into my left thigh. Once I stand for awhile, the pain goes away. I've had this problem for 2-3 weeks and it seems to be getting worse instead of better.

Brief Answer:
Can be due to osteoarthritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the hip joint that you have is likely to be due to osteoarthritic changes in the joint.
The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin , dycerin, etc and some life style modifications and physiotherapy.
Right now you can start taking Tablet Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) Double Strength after breakfast and after dinner. It is suggested to add calcium supplements 500mg each twice daily. This will take care of your mild symptoms in 3-5 days.

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.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
