Suggest Treatment For The Pain And Sore On My Hip And Back
Yes, please.
My girlfriend just emailed me, stating her direct quote.
"My leg, (right under my hip bone) is as purple as purple can be, and very sore. My lower ribs are pretty sore too, but it didn't turn black and blue. I don't think I broke a rib, 'cause I don't have a problem breathing. But I have to hold my side when I laugh or cough. "
What may cause that to happend? Thank you and God Bless you and your family in 2012, Mary

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The fact that your pain is occuring with movements indicates a muscle strain. Any strained muscle when stretched gives severe pain.
I advice her to follow the below mentioned guidelines -
* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
