How To Treat Pain In Right Hip And Top Of Femur?
Right hip, pain at the outside, top of the femur, can put weight on my leg but it hurts, can walk with slight pain, and can force (or convince) myself to walk without any limp. First started after overexertion in early April. Used ice packs, hot showers, used leg as much as possible without pain and it lessened gradually until tonight, late July. Sudden zing of pain and it s as bad as when it first happened. Is it tendenitis?

Hello,
Your hip pain is a thing to be concerned about and you need investigations to clear your doubts, such symptoms can stem from either some sprain or avascular necrosis of the head of your femur. I feel an MRI of the hips is a must in your case.
