Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The bruised feeling on top of the hip can be due to bursitis due to inflammation in the area. An overuse can cause such changes. This can be relieved by taking mild pain killers and a hot fomentation.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not try to do exercise that involve painful muscles.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
