Why does she think you have a hip fracture?
Hip pain which hurts to press or lie on that side, leg swelling, pain from hips round to bottom and stomach, shooting pain down leg after stood up for few minutes eg washing dishes, stairs. Personally I dont think it is fracture cause it the same both side just left side it worse
Hi, You have my sympathy!I have spent the last three months thinking I had bursitis in my left hip, which my physio was treating. As we weren't making progress, she suggested an injection from my GP. GP wanted an X-ray first to see what was going on, and this showed that the hip replacement I had 14 years ago has worked itself loose, and is now in the incorrect position.
So, I have been referred to a musco skeletal consultant, whom I see a week on Friday.
Onwards and upwards, or should I say downwards!
At least I now know what has been causing me pain.
Good luck

Just spoke to dr about x-ray no break/fracture which I'm really glad about just inflammation so got to go up to 14mg and being referred to rhummy and blood tests in a month to see how much they changed on 14mg, and stop taking alendronic acid and try different one not sure what that 1 is called til I pick it up tomorrow but this 1 is once a day not weekly
