hip joint pain

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I'm sure they would want to know where in the hip joint the pain is - at the socket, along the front, in the back; and what type of pain it is - sharp, shooting, or really throbby - to help get a better idea of what it is.

Thanks T.....

The pain is sharp shooting pain on the outer side of my hip joint- stops me dead in my tracks.
Doesn't hurt when leg is straight- I can put all my weight on that foot and no pain at all, can walk normally with only a little pain unless I bend that hip. But terrible pain if I try to bend the joint- bending over to pick something up, sitting down, climbing stairs. Can't lift my foot off the floor more than 2" now from standing position. Also hurts if I am sitting and move my knee even a little to either side left or right.

My DH is making me take aspirin, and I plan on going to bed early tonight.
