What Causes Intermittent Pain In Hip Post An Injury?
2 weeks ago with my PTs permission I went out in car laid across back seat my partner went round the island and I felt pain in hip, ever since on and off its been sore, is this because of the car ride or because I have stopped pain relief or because I have increased exercise.
Am I optimistic thinking I shouldn't need pain killers after 9 week
Likely to be due to increased exercise.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The intermittent pain that you are feeling is likely to be due to the increased exercise that has put stress on the incompletely healed bone. It is best to take a rest for now and avoid all painful activities. Taking a pain killer intermittently can help according to the need. You need to take your calcium supplements regularly to make your bones stronger and start with exercises gradually so as not to put too much stress on your bones.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The fracture of hip and pelvis usually takes 8-12 weeks to heal properly. Partial weight bearing should be allowed at least after 10-12 weeks depends on the extent of calcification and healing the X-rays show.
Hope my answer is helpful. You can ask more queries in case you want to.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

Thank you

Detailed Answer:
A conservative healing can take 10-12 weeks. The appearance of pain suggests a repeat injury and you may need a few more weeks rest before you become pain free again. The bad spasms can be related to injury or a fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Do get the levels checked and start with proper supplements to help. It is not likely to be related to the bone healing. It can be due to the soft tissue injury.

Detailed Answer:
You need to have a repeat X-ray to check the extent of healing and then start with partial weight bearing after getting it examined from your orthopedician. The partial weight bearing will initially be painful due to the associated muscle stiffness. You will need physiotherapy and hot compress to relax the stiff muscles.
It will take 2 more weeks when you will be able to walk with crutches. You can go on a wheel chair till then. A muscle spasm can cause a sharp pain. Do relax and take a good care of yourself with a calcium rich diet to help healing.
