What Causes Pain In The Left Hip While Sitting And Sleeping?
I have pain in my left side, in and around my hip, worse when I spend time sitting, and sometimes if I sleep on that side, I stiffen up and have difficulty getting up, Not a sharp pain more like a throbbing ache, my Dr only thinks it is a pulled mussel but have had this problem for almost 4 months. would really like some ideas to make it feel better or solve the issue, can you tell me any ideas for what the problem might be?

Hello,
Most probably it is due to ligament or muscle involvement.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
