Could Pain In Lower Left Hip Be Due To Stress Fracture?
Yes maybe you can help. I have been experiencing pain in my lower left hip for quite sometime. It is not getting any better in fact it is worse. The pain is bad enough that I cry with it. It feels like my hip is broken. Is it possible to have a stress fracture in your hip? I had stress fx before in both my feet. I know I have arthritis but this is different. Should I go to the er?
