Xray picture of hip is very helpful,please send it
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. We replace the hip only in cases of arthritis that is after the loss of protective cartilage at bone end along with restriction of hip movement in all directions. This can easily be seen on X-ray picture, so I would request you to please send the X-ray picture of hip in the follow up query.
Going by the short duration of symptoms it could be muscle stiffness/spasm of the crotch area. For this I recommend hot water fomentation along with Ibuprofen and muscle relaxant drug Thiocolchicoside.
To help you better, please tell me the possible movement at left hip as compare to right hip?
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards


Sincerely, XXXX
I do not think you need hip replacement
