Pinched nerve in left hip continues today. Anyone have any advice for relieving this condition?

A pinched nerve is caused by mechanical compression, whether from soft-tissue swelling, bone impingement, or external pressure, and treatment is aimed at relieving that pressure. The best short-term treatment for a pinched nerve is rest and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
If pain persists, see your doctor because long-term compression can lead to permanent nerve damage. Physical therapy can be useful to strengthen muscles around the nerve and relieve pressure, and corticosteroid injections can provide further relief from pain and inflammation. In some cases, surgery is needed to decompress the nerve.
