Patient: 51 year old, 5'2" approx. 165 lbs. Chronic, severe pain in left groin area (focusing on femur/hip bone). Unable to sit/stand for more than 10mins, extreme pain if walking/exercising, or normal activities; cannot lift leg up or sideways; sometimes hears/feels popping sound upon which there is a slight alleviation of pain; has had these symptoms for more than 1 year, current pain much worse; pain rated at 9 and constant (scale 1-10, 10 being the worst). xray of femur shows no fracture; pelvic mri is okay; patient was diagnosed last year w/ degenerative disc disease, slight pain in lower back but not serious; also has adnexal left cyst (no pain or symptoms); had surgery for hernia (doc assumed this was causing pain in groin area but this is not the case - pain still persisted before & after surgery & even a year later). orthopedic surgeon cannot determine cause, will run an mri to check hip bone/femur & therapy. can anyone share some insight - what could it be?
