I fell on my and jerked my hip very bad. It is very sore while walking or taking steps. I had an xray done that showed normal and I am on anti-flammatory medicine but I am still in alot of pain. Do you have any ideas of what is wrong? My Doctor is not very helpful.
Hi! Diagnosing hip pain requires a very carefully done CLINICAL EXAMINATION followed by appropriate procedures/investigations. You HAVE TO get in touch with a good ORTHOPEDIC IAN. Since your X-rays are normal it is likely you have soft tissue injury to the hip joint. This includes the ligaments, tendons & bursae (small lubricant filled sacs to aid joint motion). MRI in these cases is more of an aid to clinical exam. Please visit an orthopedic as early as possible. All the best!
