Arthritis : Your symptoms suggest osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Painful motion is typical early as is pain w/ weight bearing.As the arthritis progresses loss of internal rotation is often found on physical exam. Pain in groin, thigh and buttock are characteristic.Some patients note difficulty tying shoes and similar motions... Time to see an orthopedic surgeon for examination, x-rays and treatment! gl!

I am having pain in my left outside hip. It sometimes radiates down to my knee. It is causing me to limp now. I was going to a Chiropractor and he said it was cause by my right side being out of alignment. Iit got a bit better but now is worse.
