What Causes Persistent Hip Pain?
Two weeks ago I suddenly started having hip pain. I have cut back on my physical activity and have been icing it 3 -4 times a day. I normally workout 4 times a week and walk a mile every day. It does not seem to be getting better. This does not appear to be sciatica. It is most painful sitting or trying to put on shoes or socks. Walking doesn t seem to hurt it.

Hi, I think you require a short course of oral anti inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen prescribed by a doctor to relieve inflammation and pain.
