I've recently had surgery on my hip and a bag of frozen peas for 10 mins really helped. It is likely you have swelling there so it should help reduce the inflammation.

Have you tried an ibuprofen gel? It will get into your bloodstream, so you need to balance it with the tablets, but I found this helped.
