What Causes Soreness In Lower Hip Bone?

my mom is 82 and had a bile bag for a week and then now they put a stint into the bile duct that had a couple of strictures. they have taken some cells from the bile duct and we will get the results tomorrow. my question is her hip bone; lower part of the hip; kind of the side of her leg on the opposite side of the incision made between ribs is really sore. Do you know why that would be?

Here its difficult to answer with out physical examination of patient but I can give you in general guideline.

Since there is incision and inflamation at one side of her abdomen along with pain there will be muscle weakness also and due to that she might be sleeping on the other side with side lying as well while walking also there will be more weight on her normal side. Even when she will sit also she will give more weight on her normal side and due to that (due to overuse of normal side) as per her age it is common to have pain in normal side also with soreness in bones and soft tissues.

I suggest to correct her posture and give her enough pillows to support her position in such a way where she Dont get constant weight at one perticular part of body. You can also practice this by changing her position frequently.

As of now you can give her hot and cold pack alternately as per her tolerance limit to give some more relaxing effect on inflamed and sore areas of normal side.

I am sure this will be useful for her so just follow it and see.
Take care
