Accepted Answer

The pain in your right hip, radiating down to the leg and pelvic area, especially when sitting, could be indicative of sciatica, piriformis syndrome, or a herniated disc; consult an orthopedic specialist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and consider applying ice, stretching, and over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate symptoms in the meantime.

Accepted Answer

Given the blood groups you mentioned:

- Mother (O+)
- Father (B+)
- Child (A+)

_It is theoretically possible_ for the child to have the A+ blood group, as the ABO blood group system is controlled by multiple genes. However, it's essential to explore this further.

To discuss this topic, consider consulting:

1. *Geneticist*: A specialist in genetics and heredity.
2. *Medical Geneticist*: A medical doctor specializing in genetics and genomics.

Regarding DNA testing, you can ask for a:

1. *Parentage Test*: Also known as a Paternity Test or DNA Paternity Test.
2. *DNA Profiling*: A test that analyzes specific DNA markers to determine biological relationships.

Some common DNA tests used for parentage testing include:

1. *Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Testing*: Analyzes specific DNA markers.
2. *Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Testing*: Amplifies specific DNA sequences.

Before proceeding, consider the emotional implications of DNA testing and discuss them with your family and a genetic counselor if needed.
