A member asked:

When walking left hip seems to get stuck but after a few strides it seems to pop back into place... mild discomfort when this happens... whats the deal?... hip pops...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hip pops: Have you had an old hip injury that could have loosened the hip ligaments? Another possibility is a torn labrum of the hip joint. I recommend consulting an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment options.
