Hello,

The pain in hip may be of multiple reasons as:
- arthritis hip joint
- avascular necrosis of femur head with compromise of blood supply
- muscle or ligament related issues
- others

Primary relief with:
- Local application of anaglesic spray or ointment with Linseed oil, camphor
- Intake of anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicines as per the need and clinical severity
- Heating pad use
- Avoid prolong or sudden weight bearing over affected hip side lower limb
- Control of body weight and blood sugar
- Balanced nutritious diet to maintain calcium homeostasis

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
