What Causes Pain In The Hip After A Fall?
Question: I'm having pain in my right hip. I fell in march of this year. It really goes to hurting bad when I'm lying down at night. Also when I strighten my leg out ,and bend it back it will pop.
Brief Answer:
Can be osteoarthritis or ligament injury.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The popping and pain at night could be due to osteoarthritic changes or a mild ligament tear. This can be best diagnosed by an MRI scan of the hip joint. Do start taking the oral muscle relaxant. Doing a hot compress, taking calcium supplements and avoiding the painful movements will also help.
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.
