Hi,

Has anyone else experienced a catching sensation in the hip area when rising from sitting or squatting? Thus is steadily worsening so I am anxious about flexing my hip .It locks and spasms with pain down the side of the thigh.I use to be able to unlock the catching by quad stretches but thus is getting far harder.Also spasmodic numbness in lower leg.I had a hip replacement 10 years ago and have had no problems.Excellent mobility and stability in hip and no pain when physios have tested it.5 physios baffled.Walking is fine.Now waiting for CT scan and appointment with orthopaedic consultant .
