I have been told that i have a deep socket and loose hip. what does this mean? how will they go about fixing it? it causes me extreme pain.

The : The answer doesn't make sense. The hip tends to be a very stable joint by the ball and socket geometry. If regular x-rays are normal i would suggest having an MRI arthrogram of the hip since you may have a labral tear giving you the felling or actually producing instability.
