Hi,

Thanks for posting the query,

Before concluding any diagnosis let me ask you more details.

What is the duration of pain?
Is it relieved by any massage or medicines?
Is this the first episode, or did you have similar pain earlier?
Did you suffer from any recent illness like viral fever?

Brief Answer:
Physical examination needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
apologise for the delayed reply. In my opinion the cause of pain looks to be due to bursitis. But physical examination only can confirm the diagnosis. I suggest you to consult the orthopedician at the earliest. For time being you can take
TAB. NUCOXIA MR one tablet 2 times for 5 to 10 days.

Any issue do follow up take care.
