How is this possible? WHat could be causing it?
I've been to the GP to complain of hip problems over the last few years. Tightness. Pain. A tendency to have it feel like it has been 'dislocated' if I've sat cross legged for a while. Xrays. Blood tests. Nothing diagnosed.
I went away and put up with it for a while.
THen it started to go 'out' if I was climbing stairs quickly. So I went back to the GPs. They asked questions and said no point retesting anything. Referral to the physio. Phone call with physio. THey are mystified. I am on the waiting list to see them.
Weeks away from the physio making an appt. I've had exercises to do and they have helped a tiny bit. Tightness less of a problem, but still there. But it is getting worse.
It has started to feel like it has slipped out if I have bent from the hip to pick stuff up off the floor. This is something I do all the time at home (sorting laundry, picking stuff off the floor) and at work too. It is particularly bad if I do any twisting to pick stuff up from different directions.
I bend over, I get a stab of pain in my hip, which makes me automatically take the weight off it. When I try and walk, I can't without pain.
It is doing my head in. I have no idea what it could be. I am reluctant to go back to the GP as I feel I am not getting anywhere and am sounding like a right complainer. At the moment my plan is to wait and see what happens when I've seen the physio person.
