Suggest Treatment For Pain In Hip Area

I have been experencing pain on by left side particulary the hip/ buttock area. What should I do. I took over the counter pain reliever. I received slight relief, but still feel dull pain all day. I think the effect is off and now pain is back to intensity as yesterday.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
There are many causes for hip pain from minor fracture to arthritis. Have you met with trauma? What's the duration of pain? If There is history of trauma and pain has started after trauma it can be minor sprain and Xray of pevis with both hips anteroposterior view should be done to rule out bony abnormalities. If there is no trauma and pain is for long duration it can be Monoartitular arthritis of hip joint. Xray is helpful in diagnosis of both conditions so get it done asap. Please consult expert orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area with report. All the best.
