Suggest Me Medication For Pinch Nerve Pain In Hip And Thigh.

I started taking care of my two month grandson last week. I developed severe pain in right hip and thigh at bedtime. I can function during day but when I go to sleep I wake up with unbearable pain that takes me to tears. Is it a pinched nerve or pulled muscle? I don't even want to go to bed knowing I will wake with this horrible pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In my opinion that is a kind of muscular spasm or a mild sigh of sciatica a kind of spinal neurovascular bundle herniation diagnosed by X-rays and/or MRI, anyway it may resolve simultaneously or with some relaxation in your case, hot foments with physiotherapy, massages with topical gels containing muscle relaxants, pain killer like NSAIDs (advil), multivitamins will help for moderate cases epidural steroid injections.

For severe cases minor endoscopic or even surgical micro-dissectomy may be suggested by your neurologist. Please consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
