Suggest Treatment For Left Hip Pain
Question: Irregular left hip pain which occurs when I rise from a chair. At first it seemed only a strain, but now it will not heal itself and I think I may have a hip problem which I can't identify.
Could this indicate a broken Hip?

Brief Answer:
It can be fracture
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and in your age a fracture can be a possibility. It can happen even with missing a step. I would suggest you to get hip x ray to see if there is any cracking or fracture in hip bone.In hip bone fracture some time patient is able to walk. This is called neck femur fracture and needed hip replacement .
Also if x rays shows no fracture then it is most probably muscle pull and it will be better with rest and pain killers.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
