I've been in therapy due to a car accident. The pain did not start immediately when the accident occurred, but rather during therapy sessions. I can't lift my leg to get in the car. I have to go in backward with knee bent to get over the threshold. The pain is getting worse. I am having pain now when sitting. Padded chairs last longer, hard chairs I can stand for only minutes. Pain lessens when laying flat or standing. When laying flat I couldn't lift my own leg to 90% angle. Some sort of mind pain block, as my husband could get it to do so. However, once the leg was up at a 90% angle, there was only a small amount of aching pain, not intense. Upon lowering; however, he accidentally dropped it the last 4 inches or so, I nearly went solar. Rotation of the hip out is also incredibly painful. X-rays of pelvis, hip, and upper thigh, show no fractures, nor arthritis (beyond mild degenerative). Help! What in the world is this? My doctor doesn't appear to be in a hurry to do anything.
