What Causes Extreme Pain In Right Hip?

My wife is having hip pain, went to doctor and they took xray which came back with nothing wrong and perscribed steriods and IBprofen. She also does physical therapy 2 times a week. The problem is its not getting better and we are not sure what the next step is? Please any advise would be helpful. To describe her symptoms she is having pain in right side hip only, after work and during sex is the worst time. She can feel down the front of her leg radiant pain. Made worse by any walking or moving, Made somewhat better with rest and PT, but still lingers.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain extreme pain in hip can be due to a number of causes like Brusitis, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, hernia, physical trauma, hip fractures, Sciatica etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and he can advise you MRI scan and repetition of x ray to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treatment can be planned accordingly..
He can advise your wife to take anti-inflammatory painkillers while if pain is severe Narcotic painkillers can be advised..
Muscle relaxants can also be advised..
Physiotherapy and stretching of muscles and heat compresses can also be advised..
Avoid excessive walking and long hours of standing..
Loose weight if obese..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
