What Causes Pain In The Right-sided Hip And Crotch Area Long After Hip Surgery?
My husband had a fall 25 years ago off our porch and landed on his back. He had therapy and saw a chiropractor. Has not had any problems until recently. Also had right hip surgery 6 years ago and developed bursitis in his hip. He has had several steroid shots for the hip pain. Recently he complains about right hip pain. He went to a second doctor who took an x-ray of his right hip. After looking at the X-ray, he said that his hip is in tact and could see no wearing of his hip. Bursitis is possible but he also suggested that it could be a problem with his back. My question - could the pain he is experiencing in his right hip and crotch area be caused from his back? Thanks - I am really perplexed and do not know where to turn. Could there be something else wrong? Do we need to see a special doctor and if so what should the doctor specialize in? Thanks
