Hip Joint Pain...?

Question

I've had hip pain for a long time (about 7 1/2 months) It's a kind've sharp sometimes throbbing pain in my left hip joint. I've been to the doctor, and had x-rays, can't see anything in the x-rays. It's just always there, very painful. WHAT COULD IT BE???

Answer 1

If you have hip pain, some common causes include:
Arthritis
Arthritis is among the most frequent causes of hip pain, and there are many treatments available. If conservative treatments fail, hip replacement surgery is an option.

Trochanteric Bursitis
Trochanteric bursitis is an extremely common problem that causes inflammation of the bursa over the outside of the hip joint.

Tendonitis
Tendonitis can occur in any of the tendons that surround the hip joint.The most frequently encountered tendonitis around the hip is iliotibial band (IT band) tendonitis.

Osteonecrosis
Osteonecrosis is a condition that occurs when blood flow to an area of bone is restricted. If an inadequate amount of blood flow reaches the bone, the cells will die and the bone may collapse. One of the most common places for osteonecrosis to occur is in the hip joint.

Lumbar Pain - Referred Symptoms
Many back and spine problems can cause symptoms around the buttocks and hip. The most common problems that refer pain to the hip region are herniated discs and sciatica.

Snapping Hip Syndrome
Snapping hip syndrome is a word used to describe three distinct hip problems. The first is when the IT band snaps over the outside of the thigh. The second occurs when the deep hip flexor snaps over the front of the hip joint. Finally, tears of the cartilage, or labrum, around the hip socket can cause a snapping sensation.

Muscle Strains
Strains of the muscles around the hip and pelvis can cause pain and spasm. The most common strains are groin pulls and hamstring strains.

Hip Fracture
Hip fractures are most common in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Treatment of broken hips requires surgery to either replace the broken portion or repair it with a metal plate and screws.

Answer 3

I just answered another question like this one... so I cheated and copied and pasted my other answer

depnds on if it feels like a muscle pulling the bone at an odd angle or if there is swelling in the joint or ligament. If it is a pulled muscle, there has been some ripping along the fibers, it will need some time to repair. However, what is happening is the muscle doesn't want to relax, and it can pull bones slightly out of orbit. Or it could be inflammation in the ligament or tissue in the joints themselves. There are two kinds of inflammation, one is good, it protects your body, and the other is not good, because it is a cry-baby and keeps inflammation around a lot longer than it needs to be there (as in tennis elbow, bad backs, arthrititis too) Your body wants the cox 1 inhibitor, but not the cox 2, which is the bad sort of swelling. The problem is over the counter anti-inflammatories work on both, where you really only want a cox2 inhibitor.

Answer 6

Ehm..
Though sciatica is a common problem, it is really surprising that often it is hard to tell why a person suffers from this ailment. This is why it is often referred to as a back pain complex. Even experienced doctors find it difficult to pinpoint a cause. Number of medical conditions lead to sciatica such as stress and trauma at any point on spinal cord or lower back. This is understandable but when a person feels this pain and the underlying causes are as general as obesity or pregnancy, it presents a vague picture to the doctor. There can be many more underlying causes that require supervision and treatment at the right time.

Answer 7

You say that you had xrays, but did they measure each of your legs; my father has a bad hip and it is a result of years of walking on a leg that is millimeters shorter than the other. If not that, then I would say a form of sciatica or a pinched nerve.
