What Causes A Grinding Sensation In The Hips?

I am a 55 year old male with degenerative disc disease. I have had a fusion of the L4, L5, and S1 with a cage. I have also had a neuro stimulator implanted in my spine. I have sever pain in my left hip, it feels like there is grinding going on in there but the specialist says there is nothing wrong with the hip. I have frequent muscle spasms. Sometimes when walking, my left leg stops working and it spins me around. The neurologist says there is nothing wrong. I am currently going to a pain clinic and am taking buprenorphine. Any thoughts as to what may be causing the grinding feeling in the hip or why my leg quits working. I don t know what to try next or who to go to for more help.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
hello and welcome to HCM
your condition could be due to FAI. Femoro acetabular impingement syndrome. usual test results and xrays are normal. some MRI Scans might also be labelled as normalnas this requires specialized MR arthrographic investigation. condition require physical examination and detailed history prior to writing such test, my recommendation is to visit a orthopedic for the same.
