What Causes Pain On Left Side Of Hip Radiating Towards Chest?

My husband has a pain on his left side above the hip more to the chest area. It really hurts him when he coughs. He was bending over at our water well could he have done anything that would cause this? He also has a really bad back from his job as a firefighter. And he is not one to exercise.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain on left side of hip radiating towards chest . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like rib fracture , kidney problem like stone or infection , pancreatitis or spleen enlargement. I would suggest you to consult nephrologist for proper examination . Doctor may order kidney funtion test along with ultrasound and taking history . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle and bone problem . For now apply warm compresses , take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
