How can I get rid of pain in hip joints and thighs?

Mr Jitendra Mangwani

Q: I am a 22 years old boy and have met with 7-8 small accidents, which have resulted in pain in my hip joints. I feel some burning sensation on my right thigh and leg. My hip joints pain when I sit or try getting up. How do I get rid of this pain?

A:The burning sensation in the thigh could be a localised compression of the nerve (meralgia paresthetica) as well as nerve compression in the back. In view of the history of trauma, I would advise you to have x-rays of your hips to rule out any bony problems of the hips.
