Suggest Treatment For Chronic Hip Pain And Mild Tendonitis

default
Posted on Fri, 7 Aug 2015
Question: Hello, I have had hip pain for about 5 years. An MRI 5 years ago showed mild tendonitis. I have continued to run in half marathons and am 48 years old. The past 3 months hip and leg now are getting worse. I had a steroid injection in hip and it didn't help. Doctor did x ray and saw a slight shadow on hip. I am having MRI in two days with contrast now. Is there anything else it could be other than a tumor?
