Hip pain, muscle sprain?

Hi, woke up with pain in the left hip area. Excruciating when getting out of bed, bending, weight bearing etc.

Literally fine if lying down, could forget it was there.

Anyone experienced this?

Put a heat pad on it which seems to have made it worse.

No fall or such, just came on after an ok sleep, so not like I was doing some heavy lifting or anything.

YABU - Sounds like an emergency, call 111.

YANBU - even though excruciating it's common & will go away.

Take some ibuprofen. Put some ice on it.

Doesn't sound like an emergency. If still bad tomorrow ring 111

Thabks.

Can't take ibuprofen or any NSAIDs

It's like in the pic attached.

I've had something similar for the last 6 weeks. But I do have lower back issues so back has been grumbling for years. I saw my doctor mid December and he said could be slipped disc but I have an mri in two weeks to see what's happening. I've gone from being really active to not being able to walk and needing a wheelchair outside the house. Been referred to physio too. You need to find out what the pain is so you know what exercises will help and hopefully get an mri. I live on heat packs and have been prescribed super strong pain meds to get me through the next few weeks. X

Sorry meant to say pain is on outside hip and radiates down leg into foot.

Possibly bursitis. Speak to GP .

Sorry to hear you're in so much pain. Hopefully the tests will bring answers.

Thank you, will make an appointment if not better.
