A member asked:
Help? i have had problems with my hip so tomorrow i'm going to for a x ray. will i have to remove my leggings and pants?

Unlikely: In general, xrays can penetrate through clothing and do not have to be removed for a good xray. However, this would be dependent on the operator of the xray machine and the radiologist reading the xray.
