What Causes Pain In The Hip After Taking Treatment For Scabies Infestation?

Hello Doctor. I took Ivermectin 4 days ago for a possible scabies infestation. Today I experienced sudden pain in my hip/groin area upon walking. It s been consistent for about 5 hours now. I can find some relief when I lay flat on my back on the floor, but sitting causes terrible pain. I also was on my feet for about 6 hours yesterday at an outlet mall. I remember reading that joint pain could be a possible severe side effect from Ivermectin. Do you think I could be experiencing a side effect of the medication 4 days later or could this be a back/disc related problem. I m also having acid reflux symptoms at the same time. Add all that to the horrible rash all over my body and basically I m just a mess! I m a 58 year old female. Thank you for your time, doctor.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear patient
Ivermectin can lead to multiple joint pains but not pain to particular to hip joint. This can be related to your back issues such as muscle sprain or back spasm. You should take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days. Your pain will bee relieved. If not benefited by 5 days therapy you need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with report. All the best.
