What Causes Severe Pain In The Right Hip And Leg?
Question: What can I get to help stop hand trimmers and I have sever pain in my right hip and it is in my leg behind my knee and into my right foot. It feels like it is wet.
Brief Answer:
Spinal problems need to be ruled out at first
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,
If you are experiencing tremors during any activity like writing, reaching for objects etc it could be essential tremors. Essential tremor is treated with beta-blockers like Propranolol.
However, if you experience tremors even while resting it could be due to neurological problems like Parkinson's disease.
Pain in hips radiating down to leg along with sensory problems like wet feeling could be due to spinal problems like disc compression/prolapse, osteoarthritis of the spine. Confirmation of diagnosis requires a thorough neurological examination, imaging studies like Xray, CT scan, and/ MRI of the spine. Treatment is with physical therapy, pain medication like Ibuprofen(which you've taken already), steroid injection and surgery if everything else fails.
Please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider for evaluation and management.
