What Causes Bruising And Pain On The Hip Bone?
I recently was in Antigua (returned home 1/31) and once I got home I had this pain on my left side, almost right on my hip bone, I don t remember hitting it, it is not red or bruised, but hurts. I first thought shingles but there is no rash. Any ideas?

Thank you for posting your query in HCM

See from your description it looks like a muscle sprain if there is no history of trauma. If it was shingles, you would have rash and sharp burning pain.
Anyways do the following-
No heavy work for 5-7 days
Apply hot compress
Take aceclofenac-thiocolchicoside combination twice daily after food for 5 days
Take tab pantoprazole twice daily for 5 days
Hope this was helpful.
Regards
