Suggest Treatment For Severe Hip Pain
My friend has severe hip pain. He had an injury while riding a commerical mower that hit a hole at a high speed. The injury was 3 years ago. However, now he is having trouble walking and pain from the back of the hip to the front. He also had his colon removed 35 years ago. His surgeon made a pouch from his small intestine instead of having a colostomy bag. Now he has lots of gas and more frequent than usual bowel movements. Could the inflammation from the hip injury also be affecting the pouch? What tests would be used to diagnose these symptoms?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I do not think hip problem can change bowel movements at all.So this is not a concern. He needs separate evaluation for both.Hip pain needs to be investigated by x ray of the hip joint and MRI of the spine.As some time nerve compression can cause pain in right hip joint. Also there is chances that arthritis is causing this.
For colon mobility he needs to check if there is any inflammation in the colon or any motility issue. It can be treated with high fibre diet.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
