View allI've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
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.
