I'm experiencing severe hip pain on my right side. I can't even bend down to pick up something from the ground. What is the cause?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
The type of pain you are describing is most likely of musculoskeletal origin, due to an inappropriate muscle movement, or carrying a heavy object (during gym class for example). Resting the affected area, muscle relaxants and painkillers, and avoiding any activity that may be precipitating the pain (strenuous exercise, carrying/moving heavy objects, prolonged sitting for more than 2 hours without frequent stretching) are advised.
