[|Human|] Hello! I am concerned about a soreness right above my left hip toward my back. Several months ago, I was not able to sleep on that side, however I can now sleep on it. It is not sore to the touch but today the waist line of my pants was bothering it. Other things also bother me. I have not had any injuries.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN]. I will advise you do X-ray of hip again, and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor. After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI. Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulfate. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. If required intra-articular injection can be given. 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.
