Hip pain increase on sitting, abdominal pain in pelvic region. Pain in left leg, stiffness. Total hysterectomy done
Patient: For several weeks I have had left hip pain that increases with sitting.  I have abdominal pain in the pelvic region as well.  Sometimes I have to use a cane to walk. The pain is in my left leg to my foot sometimes and the entire side becomes stiff sometimes.  I can often walk it out but I have to be careful bending, lifting, sitting, or squatting.  I have had a total hysterectomy over a year ago. Doctor: Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for this severe pain in the left hip joint, these includes. 1 Pinched nerve ( sciatica ) , diagnosis can be confirmed by  C T scan and X ray of lumbar sacrum region . As you mentioned that  there is severe pain radiating to leg , foot , as all these symptoms are an indication of sciatica nerve involvement (pinched)2 Degeneration of head of femur . Diagnosis can be confirmed by C T  scan & X ray of head of femur.3 Osteoporosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by blood  examination and bone density test.4 Osteoarthritis , diagnosis can be confirmed by C B C and E SR .Hysterectomy have not any role in this pain.In my opinion consult an orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion.
