Hello,
The following are few probable causes of pain around hip area:
1)
Sciatic nerve compression
2) Hip fracture
3)
Avascular necrosis of femur
4) Compression of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh
5) Radiculopathy
To those who come to my clinic with similar symptoms, i would suggest the following:
1) Pain relieving medication like NSAIDs
ibuprofen or Naproxen twice daily for 1 week.
2) To prevent gastric irritation, tab. Pantop before food is recommended.
3) If NSAIDs are not to be used as in case of bleeding disorders or in kidney failure, opioids like
Hydrocodone,
Oxycodone or Tramadol can be used twice daily for 1 week.
If your pain doesn't subside with the above treatment, you may need to consult an orthopedic specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
