Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I began having pain in my front part of my hip on my left leg yesterday after doing some painting in my home; while painting I was squatting, bending, and kneeling. the pain came on suddenly and was not bad at first just achey. The pin has progressed especially after driving to and from work. I can now not find a comfortable position to alleviate the pain and it is becoming unbearable. All I can compare it to is dislocating my shoulder, it is the same sharp pain.
Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. Most common cause of such pain is due to compression or irritation of sciatic nerve causing a pain - Sciatica. It has a characteristic pins and needles sensation.
Kindly consult an orthopaedician .They shall advice for an X Ray of the lumbar region .
Medications given for this are Non Steroidal antiinflammatory drugs . Also Physiotherapy may be advised. Thanks
