What To Do For The Pain Above My Right Hip Bone?

Hello. I am experiencing a dull pain above my right hip bone - in the fleshy part of abdomen area - feels like bruise, but nothing is there - when I press it, it is hard to the touch - when I lay on my right side, hurts quite a bit. I am a hashimoto s disease/hypothyroid patient - what is causing this?

Hello,
Thank you for asking your query at healthcare magic.

In order to give a definite and focused answer I want to know more about the pain
-exact location of pain
-radiation of pain to other parts of body
-when did the symptoms start
-any fever
-any mass noted in the area of pain
-vomiting
-constipation/diarrhea
-urinary symptoms like burning during peeing/increased frequency of urination
-difficulty walking
-history of trauma

A detailed physical examination is also required before I can comment on further management

I can give you a few possibilities here, since I do not have detailed history.
Assuming the location of pain you are describing is on right lower abdomen it can be
Inguinal hernia(strangulated inguinal hernia cause pain and require immediate treatment)
Appendicitis
Ureteric stone
Urinary tract infection

All these conditions require medical attention, and I suggest you visit the Emergency Room at the earliest

Hope I was able to answer your question
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
