A member asked:
Should i be concerned about a bony lump at the top of my rt femur on the outer side. its observably different to the other side & hip is weak/achey?

Possibly: Asymmetry in people, absent specific life events to explain, is not a good thing. Especially with an associated issue (pain, numbness, weakness), should see your dr or urgent care or an orthopedist for eval.
