Suggest treatment for pain in the hip and thigh
Patient: I ve developed a painful sensation in my right hip and thigh pain associated with walking and with entry into my car when stepping into the driver s side of the car with the right leg extended first into the car. I notice a muscle pain in the top of the right thigh when ascending stairs and some hip discomfort with movements of the right leg only. I thought initially it was a muscle pull from excessive walking exercise, but I m not sure now and am taking a week off of my walking routine. Doctor: Hello,  Consult an orthopaedic and get evaluated. As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
