How To Get Rid Of The Soreness In My Left Trochanter Area?

I am a 51 old man. My left trochanter area is sore after sitting on chair for one hour. When I walk I feel a mild clicking sound in the area as well. When I rotate my hip joint externally I feel pain in my left crotch. During intercourse I feel pain when I flex my left hip and I hear a loud click sound as well. Kindly advise! many thanks, Amir

Hi Amir ! I am Dr Shareef answering your query. I think your present problem may not be related to your sitting on the chair for one hour. This possibly is due to some pre-existing hip joint problem of yours which is could also be entrapping some nerve nearby, which might be giving the referred pain to your crotch. For the present you may go for some anti inflammatory drug for immediate relief of your discomfort.
If I were your doctor, I would have investigated you with imaging like MRI to exclude any pathology in the hip joint. Further treatment like physiotherapy, continuing anti inflammatory drugs, or going for some more invasive procedure would depend on consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon with your investigation reports.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
