You should consult your doctor to have your symptoms properly assessed and to determine the cause of your pain. In the meantime, you may take over-the-counter paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain relief, provided you have no contraindications. You should also remain active with gentle, low-impact exercise, such as walking, as prolonged bed rest is generally not recommended.

I'm sorry to hear about your hip and back pain. Persistent pain in these areas for a month should be evaluated to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Here are some steps you can take:

  • Consult an Orthopedic Doctor: They specialize in musculoskeletal issues and can assess your pain through physical examination and possibly imaging tests.
  • Pain Management: Medications like etoricoxib (a COX-2 inhibitor) are sometimes prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation. However, these should only be taken under medical supervision due to potential side effects and contraindications.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities that worsen the pain. Gentle stretching and maintaining good posture can help.
  • Physical Therapy: A physiotherapist can guide you through exercises to strengthen muscles supporting your hip and back.
  • Monitor Symptoms: If you experience worsening pain, numbness, weakness, fever, or bladder/bowel issues, seek immediate medical attention.

Since your pain has lasted for a month, I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with an orthopedic specialist to get a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

If the pain becomes severe or you develop new symptoms, please contact emergency services promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
