Need help! Have pain in upper thigh and groin area, possibly hip.No doctor diagnosis, anybody similiar?

Question

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.

Answer 1

That's because he doesn't know what to tell you. See a neurologist and right away.
It could be a pinched nerve, a hernia a blood clot. sometimes they can't see a Damaged bone on a X-Ray like they can on a MRI or a deep CAT with a four D resolution. This could be serious.

Answer 2

Sounds to me like you may have pulled a muscle or pinched nerve. These can be very painful, especially if you hurt more when your let is in one position than it is in another. Apparently your hip isn't out of joint, but it does sound like you may have pulled a nerve, torn a ligament or tendon, or pinched a nerve. Take it easy on your leg, but still keep it active to help loosen up the muscles and tendons on your thighs.

Answer 3

It could be a pinched or damaged femoral nerve.
