Suggest Treatment For Hip Pain After Hitting
Hi, I m 40yr old woman in good health and am not over weight at all, I have somehow hurt my left hip about a month ago - it is fine to walk on but when I roll over in bed I get a bad pain in my hip. Also while sitting if I pull my leg to the right my hip hurts - the same if I catch my left foot - it pulls at my hip and again hurts? What can it be?

Thank you for the question.You need to have an x ray of the pelvis with both hips .It shall show if any hairline fracture is present.From the history it seems you have musculo-tendon injury as adduction and internal rotation and flexion bring about the pain.Irrespective of the origin of pain, take a course of ibuprofen 400mg thrice a day for 5 days after meals, do fomentation, avoid movements that bring pain.In 2-3 weeks it shoud heal
