<s>[INST] I am having significant pain in my right leg above the knee and below the hip. It s at its worst the first thing in the morning (very difficult to walk) and gets a little better as the day wears on but recurs if I start walking very much. It s generally OK when I am off my feet. Is that the sciatic nerve? Can this clear up by itself? Can meds clear it up? [/INST] Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor and I will try to help you as much as I can. It may be arthrosis or sciatic nerve issue, so you should do at least X-rays and xerography for further evaluation. In some cases it can be treated by medications for lifetime, but also surgery may be required for hip replacement. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. </s>
