General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after a clinical assessment I would advise you for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of one of the lumps to have a cytological diagnosis of the same. This would also let me know if these lumps were related to your hip pain or not. Also I would consider an MRI of your hip joint if need be. Till the reports were ready, I would advise you to go for an anti inflammatory and a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

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. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
