Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
27 female having constant pain just above my left hip. Hurts more with movement and sitting. Less pain while lying down. Had this pain for 3 days. Along with low back pain. Just had a CT and pelvic ultrasound a week ago. Nothing showed up. Would really like some answers please!
By reading your reports, what i understand is there is no systemic pathology as the CT and pelvic ultrasound is normal a few weeks ago.
What i suspect it by your mentioned history is, you may have a lumbar spine degenerative disc disease, as the symptoms stand classical for it. On functional position there is pain, on rest the pain is absent. This is the classical sign of lumbar spine degenerative disc disease. Also, an MRI can help confirm the same and also will provide the knowledge of how is the status of the soft tissue in the place.
With proper rest and physical therapy the pain will be relieved and some exercises will be taught which you can perform at home as well.
With my personal experience i have seen cases with similar issues, and with physical therapy 99% recovery is achieved.
I wish the same from you.
Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
