What Can Cause Severe Pain In The Hip Joint?

hi i am having hip pain only in one hip. it cracks quite a bit and and when I rotate it, i feel pain throughout the entire joint. I tend to sleep on that side and I am also a skateboarder so I use that leg to kick. however my joint pain preceded my constant skateboarding. what might be wrong with it?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms indicate possibility of early arthritis of left knee joint. Rotational movements pain may be due to rubbing of roughened cartilage surfaces as happens in arthritis. I would like to advise X-ray of pelvis with both hips anteroposterior and frog leg views to confirm diagnosis. Mri of the left hip joint is more sensitive and specific for diagnosis of early arthritis and to rule out other possibilities. Meanwhile start tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief. Avoid activities which leads to pain. Visit to orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
