A member asked:

Cronic pain feels like it is in my hips, rhumy says hips joints are ok. maybe brusitus, cortisone shot didn't help. any suggestions ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Typically: There are 3 areas that people identify as 'hip pain' to the sides one spot suggest bursitis, to the side the length of upper leg suggest fascia lata tendinitis, to the back a lumbar disc issue, and to the groin arthritis per se. Of course many other things could cause pain in those areas.
