What Causes Hip Pain?
I have pain in my right hip, which is better after taking ibuprofen. I wonder what was the trigger, yesterday I sported - as always - but the pain started after my first visit to a therapeut in Alexander s techniek, which just showed me how to exercise my upper back!!!!!!!

Hello,
The two possible causes are prolapsed disc and sciatica.
As first-line management, you can take drugs like gabapentin for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan.
As of now, avoid strenuous physical activities and weight lifting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
