Kindly help me to figure out the reason for my pain and numbness in the hip region.

Hello doctor,

I am having pain and numbness in my hip region for six to seven months. I take cold showers in winter, wear tight trousers at night. I guess this is causing nerve compression and resulting in pain and numbness. I still do not know whether the pain is from the nerve or bone. I went to an orthopedist, and he made some x-rays which I have attached for your reference. He said I have nothing and suggested me put on weight as I am so thin and the pressure directly falls on my bones. He also gave me orthopedic soles to put in my shoes as he noticed my feet to be flat.

Could you help me figure out this issue? I can do jogging and running but cannot play soccer. The hurting feeling is in my right side, so I guess I have arthritis in my right hip joint.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the response.

That was reassuring. I thought I have arthritis or something.

The answers are as follow;

1) I cannot locate the pain precisely, but it is around my right hip, sometimes above my hip bone, sometimes in the back, and when I play soccer, the joint area is hurting so much.

2) The numbness happens at night in my right thigh, along with a burning sensation.

3) When I sleep on my right side, it feels like a pain coming from the bone, and then the numbness starts, and I switch positions immediately.

4) I do not take any other medicines except for the medication I shared with you in the first message.

Thanks.
