A member asked:

R hip pain, mild, lasting for one day. the next day l hip pain, very painful. feels swollen, pressure in joint. cannot walk. fades after 24 hours. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hip pain: Hip pain that alternates sides suggests inflammation of the sacroiliac joints. Perhaps an exercise, housework, or yard work is causing irritation of the joints. Ice at night and anti-inflammatory medications may relieve the pain. If the pain persists then see a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon for evaluation.
