My wife has a left side pain that would be considered a hernia muscle for men. She is 42 years old, 5 10 225 lbs. very active. Hurts when she moves, no pain while sitting. More painful with activity. Does not hurt to the touch, no swelling or redness. Makes her kind of limp a bit, off balance when first applying weight to left leg. My guess is a muscle tear ? Any ideas?
Hello, As of now you can take analgesics like tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persists better to consult a physician and plan for an ultrasound scan. We have to rule out possible causes like hernia. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
