What Causes Right-sided Pain Above Hip Bone?
Question: Pain in the ovary/ right side above hip bone, What's causing?
One dr, said I need a hip replacement, and another knee.
Had MI of ovary, that was fine, but the pain shoots down to the right knee, which sometimes causes me not to be able to walk. It is like hit or miss, one minute I am fine and the next cannot walk.
I think the pain is related to a different issue than hip and knee. Just got s pain, sharp on the right side for 10 seconds, pls. help?
