pain from left hip sounds like bone rub bing bone[arthritis] could be the culprit. mine was so bad my husband pushed me in a wheel chair if we went to a mall. I had a hip replacement and all is well.Get an MRI and it will tell the whole story. An orthopedic sugeon is the Doctor to see.Good Luck

thank you Laura Jane;  sometimes I feel like I am the only person who is suffering the pain.  I will see an orthopedic surgeon about this--I can't see going thru the rest of my life feeling and suffering like this.  I hope you are better and can enjoy life.  again, thanks for your reply!!  have a happy Halloween!!!

Glad to hear it, do you have restless leg syndrome too? I have suffered terribly with Arthritis in both hands, wrists, right knee and my left foot is very bad.The gabapentin takes care of the nerve pain and Tramadol for pain along with 200mg of Celebrex a day.which is a drug for arthritis.Let me know how you make out. remember the Dc is employed by you so you have a right to request Xrays and most important an MRI. I do hope you have insurance.This is not to be considered medical advice it just comes from someone who suffered for years, and now I do pretty well. Good Luck.what is your name?

The breakdown of cartilage in the knee can lead to bony protrusions called spurs and considerable joint pain.
