What Is The Pain In My Hip When I Walk?

I have an on and off problem for almost 3weeks now. I get an unmercifully pain in my right hip/groin when I get up from sitting or if I go to walk after being standing, I have to grab the wall or table to stop from falling. It's like I just can't put any weigh on my leg at all. I know it sounds a bit mad but I don't actually have any pain before and it is not an ongoing pain, it feels like as if my leg doesn't fit and I shouldn't put weight on it. I work in a call center and spend a lot of time sitting at the desk, I work shifts and am about two stone over weight. I smoked twenty cigarets a day up until two months ago, if that helps with a diagnosis.

Thank you for your question!

Pain in the hip joint may be due to different causes. You did not mention your age, which may helpful to come for exact diagnosis. If your age is above 50 years, osteoarthritis (OA) may be the probable cause of your hip pain. OA is joint destruction occur in old age people who are over weight. Try acetaminophen for symptomatic relief for 5 days.

If pain persists, consult physician. Radiological examination ( X- ray) may required to come to diagnosis.
