Need Treatment For Hip Pain
It s probably not a big deal but I ve noticed over a week that my left hip is bothering me. It s the front like actual hip and it s mainly when I lay down. When my leg is a certain position or I stretch it hurts and if I push on it it hurts as well. Getting up hurts too sometimes when I walk. There s not a visible bruise and I don t remember anything specific that could have caused it. Is it just a bruise and I m overreacting?

Hello.
This is probably bursitis and it responds to heat, rest, and ibuprofen, but, if that's not effective, a cortisone injection would take care of it.
