What Causes Left- Sided Hip Pain Radiating Towards The Leg?

I have been experiencing pain in my left hip for awhile, with an occasional stab of pain shooting down my leg. But today When I woke up my leg was swelled up and has been painful all day. It hurts all the way down. Also I have had a small amount of nausea.

Hello,

The causes for hip pain with radiating to leg are:

1. Injury
2. Blunt trauma
3. Sprain or strain
4. Spondylosis
5. Spine related problems
6. Improper posture
7. Sciatica
8. Peripheral neuropathy

You can take tablet Aceclofenac, and tablet Pregastar plus. Apply diclofenac gel or cream. Also, apply ice locally and do x-ray and MRI of back and hip region.

Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with orthopedician.

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