What Causes Clunking Feeling With Pain In Groin Area?

Thanks for reading this. I m 58, a good 50 (if you love me) to 80 (if you don t) pounds overweight. I ve been a waitress full time for 22 years. I started to limp about 2 wks ago, with the pain getting progressively worse. I feel a clunking in my groin area as I walk. Thought there was a fracture in there. X-rayed and no fracture. Could this be Snapping Hip Syndrome? The pain is awful and I can t work. I use a walker to get around. I m sure my age and weight are factors (I m no fool). I have lost 10pounds but I am on a lonnnggg road with that project. Any ideas?

You could be having Femoroacetabular Impingement or FAI. Get an MRI hip to look for labial tears. Consult a Sports Medicine Specialist.
