Hip pain: Iliac crest muscle strain?

Iliac crest muscle strain?i went to the doctor due to a pain in my hip. He told me i strained my iliac crest. Did he mean to say i strained a muscle attached to my iliac crest? i didn't know i could strain a bone

No you can't strain a bone, but you have muscles, ligaments, tendons all attached to your bones so more than likely you have strained or pulled one of these.

It is gonna take time for this to go away and to heal up.

There is not much they can do for these things.

Icing the area will help with inflammation and so will something like Motrin. You can get a stronger pain reliever from the doctor if you are in a tremendous amount of pain.

Heat also feels good too. Watch how you are walking and sitting and try to limit too much activity if you can especially things that require you to do a lot of repetitive sitting and standing or walking.

What he wants to tell you was that, that tendon/s attached to Iliac crest were strained.
Iliac crest is a bone, and all muscles attach themselves to it by tendon (White colour).
No, there is no such thing as a bone strain.
