Medical attention for Hip pain

Osteoarthritis, tendonitis, strained muscle, or tendon is likely to blame for your hip pain. You can experience relief from this most often by using an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen or naproxen. 

There are also other options to help relieve pain quickly, such as TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) 

It is a fast-acting pain treatment for hip complaints; it stimulates blood circulation and calms the nerves to help you take action against pain.
