Question 1

do runners with bilateral hip dysplasia have greater muscle hypertrophy down the legs from needing to stabilize body more?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: When any muscle is strengthened, or with increase use -- muscle hypertrophy does occur. But regarding your specific question, there is no clear correlation out there in the literature. Leg muscles (i'm assuming you are referring to either calf muscles vs. The anterior or lateral muscle compartments) are stabilizers of the hip joint.

Question 2

: CT scan is not the best test to rule out colon cancer. A colonoscopy is the optimum way to screen for colon cancer.

Question 3

Question 4

do u have to remove a bone spur on hip?

Accepted Answer

No : The main reason to remove a bone spur from the hip would be if it was causing pain or a limp and if you have failed non operative management options.  If this is not the case, it does not necessarily have to be removed.

Question 5

what is a bone spur near your hip mean?

Accepted Answer

Possible arthritis: Without seeing an xray, possibly this is indicative of early degenerative joint disease/arthritis.

Question 6

what do you think about having bone spurs removed by lazer rather than having a hip replacement?

Accepted Answer

Laser Lags Replacing: In general, such laser destruction is only a temporary fix for a mechanical problem.  Usually bone spurs are the result of mechanical forces stressing the bone in such a way that it reacts with new growth.  Chronic inflammatory conditions can precipitate this as well.  Replacement of the joint will provide a more lengthy result to improve pain and function, however even they can need replacement.

Question 7

how long should a torn hip labrum wait to be treated? bone spurs, cams as well. pain lying sitting walking

Accepted Answer

Probably soon: If you're having pain with most activities, enough to prevent you from doing things or needing to take pain medicines regularly, then you should have it treated.  You need to see an orthopedic surgeon who has expertise in treating hip labrum, usually a sports medicine specialist, to determine if the hip is truly causing your pain and give you treatment options

my hip hurts if i sit or stand too long. 3 years ago i got a cortasone shot after i was told that i a bone spur and busitis. is that what's wrong?

Question 10

can a person have spurs in back? my brother has pains when he walk, he initially was told he needed hip replacement.  after further tests, his doctor said he had some spurs on in his back which was causing pain.

Accepted Answer

Yes : Yes a person can have spurs on the bones that make up the spine (vertebrae).  Another name for bone spurs is osteophytes.  Bone spurs are enlargements of an area of the bone. They can cause pain when they push against other tissue and structures in the body.
