Question

it started hurting when i was tswiming in the water plz help. and how can i treat it just in case it happens again

Answer 1

It sounds like you could have strained the muscle in your thigh area while trying to swim (an example only).  Sometimes when muscles are strained or pulled it can cause pain to radiate to other areas such as the hip.

You can try applying heat to the area to see if that helps but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
