What Causes Pain In The Upper Thigh And Pelvic Area?

On and off for about 1 month when I wake up in the morning I have a fairly strong pain at the top of my right leg, in the front very close to my pubic area. It goes away as soon as I get up and start moving around. What could be causing this pain? It s always on right side. I always sleep on my left or right side all night.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Although you have not told me your age from what you have described it seems you have a right hip strain or osteoarthritis of the hip joint. The right hip flexor muscles also get strained due to vigorous work. I think you can take some analgesics like paracetamol if the pain is bothering you very much you can try gentle hip stretching exercises. Hip stretching exercises can be found on the net. Wait for two more weeks and if the pain still persists, you can consult your orthopedic surgeon for an x-ray and for him to decide.


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

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
