Pain In Hip Joint, Popping Sound On Walking, Sports Injury. X-ray Normal. Treatment?
My 12 year old son had to leave his tackle footbal game with pain in his hip joint following being tackled. I took him to the ER and he was x-rayed and we were told it was fine. the day after he is having popping in his hip joint with every stride while walking. How should I proceed or what type of specialist should I see?
Hi welcome to HCM
The pain may be due to muscle pull or any bone injury.
In any situation it will take few days to relieve so dont worry too much.
Xrays are usually normal in initial phase of trauma. If not reliverd pain at all than consult orthopedician and go for MRI Hip , as it will diagnose the definately,
Thanking you.
