Suggest Treatment For Severe Hip Pain
My right hip has been hurting for about 6 months now, but has really gotten bad in the last month. It hurts on the outer part of my hip and hurts really bad when I try to get up from a sitting position after I have been immobile for a while. It is super tender to press on and aches all the time. It hurts worse when I straighten out my leg and rotate my leg inward. I already take Arthrotec 75mg PO BID, so I try not to take any other NSAIDS. What could it be?
