How can increasing pain in the hips that is causing difficulty in walking be treated?
Patient: I fell on the ground 3 weeks ago landing on my Lt hip. The problem hip was not bad and I got up without a problem. The pain has increased in the hip making it difficult to walk. If is worse at end of the and i heard a loud poefand acute of pain for about 1 min. I have been walking better today. Could I have dislocated my hip before, Doctor: Hi.Thanks for the query in HCM.It could be just a soft tissue injury around the hip.Kindly take rest and a simple analgesic for two to three days,If no relief. Kindly meet an orthopaedician. He ill suggest u X ray/ MRI of hip. Which will diagnose the problem and further treatment can be considered. In pain is severe, u need to consider a simple fracture and meet an orthopaedician.Thank u
