What Causes Sharp Pain In Hip After Horse Riding?
Hi, I ride cutting horses and must always ride with my toes out and legs wrapped around horse. Lately, I have been getting a sharp pain in one hip, especially when I move leg forward (walking and getting on horse). Now I have crunching sounds. The pain comes and goes. I am 62 and very healthy (no issues). I make my living on horses, so this worries me. I jog as well. Any suggestions of what it is? Thank you so much! M

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a stretched muscle or sciatic nerve inflammation. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
- a lumbar spine X-ray study
- coxo-femoral joints X-ray study
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
