Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Hip Area
Question: I have a pain that came on over nite my hip where the joint is for your leg and also down just below the knee on rt side.
Brief Answer:
Require MRI of the lumbar spine
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read through the query.
I found that you have a radiating pain amanating from the hip joint back into the knee joint and only one side.
I find the issue is at the spinal level or a compression of the nerve under pyriformis muscle (under the buttock muscle).
YOu need an examination to confirm the same. You also need an MRI of the lumbar spine to check one or two of the deformities that cause such symptoms.
For the symptoms like these I generally recommend Pregabalin, Methylcobalamin doses. These are prescription based medicines. The regular pain meds may not work for such nerve pain.
You may try double dose of regular pain medicines before you get examined and confirm the above.
