Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I am experiencing random sharp pain in my right inner hip/pelvic region. It is not constant but seems to happen if I pivot too rapidly or step crookedly. I am 6 2 tall, 175lbs. And 53 yrs.old. I am active and practice yoga. This occurs periodically thru the year. I ice it and just walk it off usually. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanksfor the query. I understand your concern. The typical activity causing sharp painin deep hip bone &buttocks seems to be due to Pyriformis muscle contraction leafing to pressure on sciatic nerve while it passes through sciaticnotch of pelvis. Confirmation would be after MRI of pelvis-hip bone. Consultation of an orthopedic surgeon is needed for specific management. (Pain medicines/physiotherapy-stretching exercises/steroids in some cases /surgery in few cases) Thanks.
