Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Several days ago the upper part of my left hip started hurting when I walk or move. It doesn t hurt when I sit or lay down. The hurt is pretty sharp but not really burning or needles. It doesn t feel like it is necessarily in the joint but maybe above it - perhaps where a muscle or cartilage connect. I have had a hip replacement revision a little over a year ago and walked with canes for a long time, but it seemed that was healed. I don t know what this might be - not related to the surgery as far as I can tell.
You can try some ibuprofen and paracetamol for the pain and try to rest or avoid motions that make the pain worse.
If you find no improvement in a week or notice any worsening you will need a visit with your doctor. It can still be a muscular pain (and in this case pain medications and physiotherapy will help) but would be best to have a check.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj General & Family Physician
