Painful Hip “Catch”

(2 discussions)

I have developed a “catch” in my left hip.
It started as a sharp pain on my upper thigh (similar to a charlie horse) when I would get up in the morning. By stretching my leg to the back and slightly twisting, there would be a “pop” and the pain would be gone.Now, I get the pain after getting up from a chair, getting out of the car, almost anytime I have been sitting for awhile.
It is coming more frequently and I can no longer get rid of it by stretching the leg. When the pain is there, walking is painful and I have very limited motion with that leg. Eventually, it works itself out and the pain diminishes. I have been to a chiropractor, and of course, we were unable to create the pain.
He moved my hip socket in every possible position, with no pain.Any idea what this could be and what I should start doing to resolve it? Thanks for any help or advice.

    Extreme pain in front part of left hip when arising in morning. With activity or stretching, pain diminishes. No problem sitting or walking, only have difficulty when laying down for a prolonged period then trying to get up. What actions should I take to get relief.
