What Causes Pain Around Hip Bone?

Ive been hurting for quite a few months now....probably closer to 7-8 months on my front lower right side.... beside my hip bone....almost feels like pulled muscles...when I stretch it I can feel a burning pull...but now it has generated up into my front lower right rib cage...making it sort of difficult to breath....should I be concerned? Pain is not easing up at all

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
You history suggest early arthritis.
Pain along hip joint indicates possibility of early hip arthritis.
Hip arthritis can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do MRI of hip and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.
Rib pain can be due to spinal nerve compression.MRI spine will help to diagnose the condition.


For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
