Hi,

I have read your problem.

You should get x-ray pelvis with both hips done in AP view. Discuss it with your doctor. After seeing your x-ray your doctor may advise you further treatment.

You may also send me report of x-ray and physical examination which your doctor has done of yours. Till then you can take aceclofenac or naproxen tablet one on morning and one in evening at the most for 3 days.

I hope you have get your answer.

Thanks.
