Unknown Hip Pain- Worrying Posted: 03-07-05 10:11am
H|i, i'm 19 and have had a strange pain
around my right hip intermittently over
the last 2 years. It wasn't a problem
initially, it would last a few days on and
off and then disappear for several weeks.
This time it appeared again and hurts more
than before. Walking makes no difference,
it sometimes gets worse after sitting
still for a while but sometimes it does so
for no apparent reason. It feels really
deep down in the joint, sometimes feels
hot. I try to feel the area but it's too
deep and can't feel anything out of the
ordinary. I used to carry a fairly heavy
bag on my right shoulder for a few years
but stopped 18 months ago but the pain
remained. I hope I haven't done myself
permanent damage if it is related. I'm
also a hypochondriac and so I get
extremely worried at times. My mum has a
non-serious joint condition that's nothing
like mine, I don't know if its hereditary
or not. Would appreciate a swift reply.

You should go to the docter and get an
x-ray in my opinion.I think you may have a
condition where your hip groth plate is
slipping but you seem a little old for
it.You should most defenetly get it
checked out it happened to me and I had to
get screws put in my hips.The soon you
catch it the better you will be.When it
happened to me about 6 months ago im (15)
I only had 5 percent slippage in my left
hip and 0 persent in my right and sense I
cought it so early my docter says I should
have no problems with it for the rest of
my life so it would be good to get it
checked out the sooner the better the best
of luck to you!!!!!

I went to the doctor at easter and he said
he thought it wasn't serious, he examined
me and said that I had good movement in
both joints and he recommended
physiotherapy for it.
