I'm a 40 yr. old female with pain in my right hip, buttock, and groin. The worst of which is the groin. Caused mainly by twisting. Like changing direction while walking, or even rolling over in bed sometimes. Any thoughts?

Go to an orthopedic you might need a hip replacement. Caused by wear and tear of the hip joint. Mine started at age 24. I'm 48 now and got a total hip replacement 10 months ago. I still have groin pain which we can't figure out the cause yet. I was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at age 23 had a surgery called a Ganz osteotomy back then cause I was to young for a total hip replacement. My case was complicated from the get go. But you should be fine if you have to get one. Your recovery time should be around a month. But depending on how you feel and your pain level you might want to try a hip injection 1st some people get relief from it. Cause 40 is still young for a hip replacement. Good luck.

Well after reading the other comment I'm afraid I would have to disagree with that comment. Simply because I think that's kind of jumping the gun. To just start having pain in your hip groin area does not automatically mean you will have to have a hip replacement. It could simply mean that things are out of alignment and need to be adjusted. Personally I'm not all that sure that a chiropractor is a solution but I always like to give them a try and in your case you might want to also give them a chance to realign you. So you might go see one a few times and see if that doesn't relieve your pain. If not then you would certainly want to see your GP. It is most likely that your GP will do a MRI or x-ray of the area to see if there's any kind of fractures or anything evident that could show why you're having this pain.

That's why I said go to an orthopedic. Hip pain usually starts in the groin. Of course it can be a lot of things like a groin pull arthritis, or even wear and tear of the joint which would acquire a hip replacement! An orthopedic won't just say ok you need a hip replacement without trying other methods such as pain management and physical therapy especially at her age 40. I was just telling her the worst case senerio if she did need a hip replacement that it would be a fast recovery. If she doesn't have any prior problems like I did with my hip dysplasia.

You know I have to agree with you and I didn't think about it till after I had made the post. It is a better idea to go see a MD before seeing a chiropractor. Although I don't believe it has to be an ortho Dr, a Neurosurgeon would also do a good job as well. But usually you have to see your GP first to get a referral for either one.
