What Is The Treatment For Severe Hip Pain?

hi. I had a fractured foot and my dr gave me a walking boot to wear. I wore it for about 3 weeks to a month and from it I developed severe hip pain. it took a month to get over it. then I walked for about half an hour the other day and must have reactivated it. the pain was so bad that I asked for a cortisone shot. the dr gave me a shot and it didn t help. I have tingling down my leg. I think its out of alignment. What do you think? should I go to a chiropractor or physical therapy?

Hi,

The pain may be due to constant pressure on the hip due to putting weight on the hip. You can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and go for an MRI scan to rule out any fracture or contusion.

You can seek help from a physiotherapist or chiropractor after ruling out fracture.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
