	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Sat 03, Jan 2009 01:45pm: Hi, It appears that you may have had some kind of internal injury like a muscle tear, strain or a nerve compression in the lower back-hip region. If the pain persists or worsens,then other causes of hipand legpain like sciatica, arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), trochanteric bursitis(Inflammation of the sacs or space around the joint), tendinitis from repetitive or strenuous activity or infection of the hip joint leading to necrosis have to be probed after consulting an orthopedician. Do you recall any injuries that you might have had in this area? Have you had similar pain in the past? You may try using pain killer and local applications for some time. Remember to take an antireflux medications with the pain relief medications to avoid symptoms of acid reflux.Also avoid exercises and moving the legs to the extreme positions. Keep the legs stable and use low heels and comfortable footwear for a week. If these and hot fomentation do not help you, you may need to get this examined and tested by a doctor.
