What Causes Excruciating Pain In The Hip, Groin And Leg?
my 24 yr old nephew woke up with excruciating pain in his hip, groin, leg five days ago...he couldn t move, the pain was so bad. He took Alleve which gave him slight relief. He has been resting, difficulty sleeping due to pain and today it traveled into his knee. Thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
- Acute pain in hip.. groin & leg can be mostly due to muscle.. tendon spasm/sprain /strain &soft tissue surrounding hip joint.
Home care- Hot compress /muscle relaxant ointment application & over the counter pain medicine like Ibupprofen would relieve the pain
-Such pain can also follow lumber spinal /disc problems.
*Consult an orthodic surgeon after home care to exclude disc problem... for needful medicines/physiotherapy.
Thanks
