What Causes Pain In Right Hip And Upper Thigh?
I have pain in my right hip and upper thigh... my X-ray doesn t show anything wrong with my hips. Orthopedic feels it is coming from my back... facet joints deteriorated? Received a cortisone shot in upper thigh... hurts to walk for any length of time. Was told to exercise my core more... to stabilize the back region... wondering if an MRI would maybe explain more or if there isn t anything I can do anyway. I am a female, 67 years of age... very active, normally, and trying to figure this out. PT helped somewhat, chiropractor helped a little... but still uncomfortable sleeping on this hip or turning over in bed... sounds muscular or tendons to me? What do you think?
