6. Elevate the Injury

It isn't easy to elevate your hip at home, but using a recliner can help. This allows blood to flow more easily between your hip and you heart and can reduce swelling. If you are unable to elevate the injury, you can take pressure off of your hip by laying on the opposite side of your body. This can prevent you from aggravating the injury while sleeping. In general, be aware of your posture and avoid positions that may stress the joint. Whenever possible, elevate your leg as much as you can.
