Hello, I have had severe pain in the front of my hip for  years now. It was presumed that it was arthritis but recent xrays showed small arthritis but dr did not think that was cause. It is getting worse now esp when walking sometimes i have to stop until it unseizes.  Could this be a ligament problem? would that last for years? thank you foe advice.
Hello ! There are so many causes of Hip regions pain T.e. joint related, refractive pains (spinal Naturopathies etc.) and per articular conditions. Inflammatory and non-inflammatory small Arthritis can also cause pain. Detailed Investigations (MRI,, Doppler study, Blood test etc.) are necessary to rule out the cause. Hope this will help you.  Take care.
