Do I need to see my doctor?
Not normally. If you follow the right advice and take the right medication, your hip problem should improve over the next six weeks.
If you experience any of the following, you should speak to your doctor:
- Unable to put any weight through your leg.
- If you are male, you have pain or swelling around your testicles.
- A lump in your groin region (this may be a hernia).
- Pain that gets worse and worse.
- Your hip problem has not improved within six weeks.
