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.
I am having significant pain in my right leg above the knee and below the hip. It s at its worst the first thing in the morning (very difficult to walk) and gets a little better as the day wears on but recurs if I start walking very much. It s generally OK when I am off my feet. Is that the sciatic nerve? Can this clear up by itself? Can meds clear it up?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It may be coxarthrosis or sciatic nerve issue so you should do at least xrays and neurography for further evaluation. In some cases it can be treated by medications for lifetime,but also surgery may be required for hip replacement.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
