Question 1

what is wrong with my hip? hip pain/ numbness down leg and foot?

Accepted Answer

Pain and Numbness: If the hip hurts but the pain goes down to the knee, calf, foot or toes, you may wish to consider it sciatica - a pinched nerve in your back.  If the pain doesn't get better after 6 - 8 weeks of rest from high demand activity, tylenol (acetaminophen) or anti-inflammatory medicines, it may be worth seeing a doctor.  If the leg loses function (weakness) or if other major health issues develop - see one sooner.

Question 2

i have ddd and been having back and hip pain w/ pain going down the left leg to the foot. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

See details: This is radicular pain caused by nerve compression in the lower back (sciatica). There are several approaches available including physical therapy, antiinflammatory meds and targeted injections. See an orthopedist or rheumatologist.

Question 3

hip pain in left leg that has in the last two weeks radiated down front of leg and to the top of my foot?

Accepted Answer

Possibly a sciatica: A sciatica is caused by an irritation of a nerve in the back that then can cause pain that runs down the leg like you are describing.  There are also potentially other causes as well.  Usually a detailed history and exam can determine the cause.  Thank you for your question.

Question 4

one of my legs and foot is colder than the other by touch. seems when it gets cold i have severe hip pain, and hard to keep sitting up?

Accepted Answer

See doctor soon: There are too many possibilities to consider.  It could be a problem of the back or hip.  Circulation should be evaluated as well.

Question 5

i am in my 40s and have chronic lower back and hip pain. pain shoots down front of leg. foot gets numb and tingly. any ideas what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Spinal problem.: With all that put together, my first thought would be an issue with your spine, perhaps a disc herniation or spinal stenosis. You may benefit from an X-ray of the lumbar spine with flexion and extension views along with an MRI of the spine to begin the investigation.

Question 6

29f hip pain. waling is painful, noticed my leg/foot are turning inward hip is painful to touch & pops more often knee/foot pain also foot asleep?

Accepted Answer

Tendon vs hip joint: You need to see your physician. It sounds like tendon or bursa but the foot turning could suggest joint. You may need imaging

Question 7

i've had a leg cramp for 3 days, it's moved down my leg, and now my foot is numb, but still with a lot of leg/hip pain. is this dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Clot?: If your calf hurts or is larger in circumference from the opposite side then get to your doc right away for an ultrasound to look for a blood clot.  If you foot changes color or is cool compared to the other side then get to the doc asap.  I could purely be a cramp, but with out an exam it is impossible to tell.  Not worth the risk of waiting.

Question 8

pain on left side hip from front and back of leg travels to foot hard to walk very painful if sciatica is it bound to get hip pain and on both legs?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: usually sciatica stays on one side, occasionally can affect both sides, but if I were you, I would see a specialist, perhaps a urologist to determine the cause of your sciatica. That will give you a better answer as to what is going to happen.

Question 9

severe hip pain that travels down my leg and into my feet. i had a hemilaminectomy in my l5 s1 15 years ago and my scar is burning...

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Given the past surgery, seeing your doctor is strongly suggested to determine if additional evaluation needs to be performed.  You may need imaging studies to evaluate the area, depending on any findings on physical exam.

Question 10

lower back & hip pain, leg weakness, pain shooting down leg, foot & toe pain, range loss leg/hip 3/5 loss, pain shots & physical therapy did not work.

Accepted Answer

See an orthopedic: surgeon for exam and MRI of your LS spine. You symtoms are suggestive of compression neuropathy from nerve entrapment, hernoated disc( s)l, degenerative disc disease , compression of nerve roots and degenerative arthritis.
