What Causes Severe Muscle Cramp Amd Sharp Pain In Hips And Buttocks?
Over one week experience severe muscle cramp, like a sharp pericing pain in upper hips and buttock and center lower back.
I am feeling dull ache in my right groin area.
My family doctor advised muscle relaxant and advil. I am having a time at staying awake. If I am not careful I am afraid I may fall when I get that sharp electric sharp pain in my back of hip and back. I do not have any numbness.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your history there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do X ray of hip and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.
After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI.
Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
Diet rich in calcium and protein will help
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
