Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, Dr Rynne, I am asking for options for a friend who is experiencing pain in both hips. He has gone for MRI today, but the doctor seems focused on a single cause (arthritis at base of spine). What are other potential causes of hip pain that he needs to ask about, so he can be sure nothing is missed?
