What does shooting pain in your hip mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MANY CAUSES: Compression of the nerves in the thigh or lower back and other causes such as hernias, back problems or hip problems can lead to your pain. You should rule out hip problems such as a 1) stress fracture, 2) avascular necrosis, 3) transient osteoporosis, 4) arthritis, 5) labral tears 6) infection. Muscle injury/tendinitis around the hip joint may also cause your pain.
