PLEASE HELP. Chronic right hip joint pain. Doctors don't know why.

[Ineedhelpplease]

This pain comes and goes, i had to go to the emergency room last time because I couldn't even walk, I had to literally drag my leg around with excruciating pain. If I moved my right leg at all in any way, my hip joint pain was off the charts. Lucky my pain isn't at that point yet. My hip usually pops as well when I move my right leg up to my chest, but I can only do that when the pain is mild. Now the pain is about a 7 I can barley limp, it's hard to move my leg forward without pain. Sometimes when I'm laying down I can feel my blood pumping on the front side of the hip joint close to my groin. Can't sleep at all no matter how I lay down. I've actually been disabled for the past years multiple left leg ACL surgeries. So I've been sitting for 2 years mostly. Never work out. I have mild plaque psoriasis not sure if that's relevant. When I went to the hospital I had an MRI and they saw extra fluid built up in the right hip joint but not enough to drain. Plus they drew some blood and found out it was an infection. So I just sat in the hospital for 4 days with no moral answer. I left because 60 percent of my pain went away maybe cuz of anti-inflammatory meds, but now the pain is coming back and I really don't wanna go on a 4 hour trip to the hospital again. Please help me I've been dealing with this pain since the start of this year.

Taking unprescribed meds is a risk. There is no monitoring and reactions with other meds may not be appreciated.

Why pop a pill when you can do your body more good with physio, massage, bowen, etc

Meds should be the last resort in any treatment plan.

Buying them privately just keeps the price high excluding them from most people.

Palexia is an opioid related to morphine so has all the usual side effects and contra-indications. Glad its working for you but some on here either try to avoid opiods or cannot tolerate them.

Sounds like infective arthritis, easily treated with antibiotics.

Your joint popping in and out should only cause discomfort not pain. The ligaments are loose - maybe stretched to accommodate the fluid volume.

Pain is the result of compensation - in simple terms twist your left ankle, right knee and hip work harder to keep you upright, the imbalance in vertical symmetry causes pain . In your case, muscles holding the hip in place, other muscles nearby and further away working harder to keep hip stable. 2 years of sitting and no exercise will have caused all sorts of muscle weakness/ tightness ratios (muscles work in pairs) . The body is a machine that needs movement to function or it disintegrates.

Physio will help as will any of the hands on alternative therapies. Not saying your hip ligaments can be fixed, but your muscles can be taught to support the hip better without causing pain.

Hi folks,

Is there any chance there might by some sort of bursitis problem here as well.

After struggling myself for quite a long time, it was the Rheumatologist who informed me that I had bursitis on both hips and needed steroid injections into those areas to alleviate the pain.

I think Zanna's response is probably the best, but there's no harm in ruling this out as well.

Wishing you a prompt remedy and relief.

Sweetheart did they do an MRI on your hip or your entire body? I had that same problem and it was ruptured disks in my back. Hope this helps and you get some relief. xxxx Mitzi
