[|Human|] Just looking up hip pain (feels bruised but isn t) and trouble walking sometimes. Short rest (sitting) makes it possible to continue. 58, male Oh forget it. Of course you ll tell me to see my doctor. I was looking online to get available info first...
[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular and musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As the pain is in the hip area, it can be related to either of the pathologies. Either a hip joint pathology or a lumbar spine pathology. Based on the thorough Clinical neuromuscular assessment and musculoskeletal assessment the MRI may be advised. Usually there is difference between the ache and the pain. Ache is muscular and pain is neuropathic. Now you should be able to differentiate both individually and based on that the treatment is planned. Following which with simple physical therapy exercises you should regain the strength in muscle. Also, your age is 58, so after a thorough assessment the treatment planning will be performed.
