Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Did he had any history of fall. Minor fall can cause fractures in elderly. Get an X-ray hip to rule out fractures, as of now you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain which is safe for you. If pain persist, consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
