Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Hip

Hi Dr. Rynne my mother recently has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and is currently on 37.5 mg of teva - tramadol/acet. for her pain. 2 days ago she started to experience excruciating pain in her hip and has had xrays taken and this pain is not related to her cancer. The hospital gave her 2 extra-strength Tylenol and sent her home. She is asking for something that will give her more relief and we were wondering what you would suggest we could administer for pain for her.

Hi,

It is important to work closely with her healthcare provider to manage her pain effectively. In addition to the tramadol/acetaminophen combination medication, her healthcare provider may consider adding other pain relievers such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or stronger opioid medications.

Physical therapy, massage therapy, and other non-drug treatments may also help manage her pain. Heat or ice therapy, relaxation techniques, and gentle exercise can also help alleviate pain in the hip. It is important to carefully monitor your mother's pain and communicate any changes or concerns to her healthcare provider. Adjustments to her pain management plan may be necessary as her condition changes.

It is also important to discuss any potential side effects or interactions of pain medications with her healthcare provider, especially considering her history of depression and suicide attempts.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
