Hip help please (Update)Hip help please (Update)I know this sounds really over-dramatic, but do you think it is possible that I keep dislocating my hip?
I was away several weeks ago and was sitting with my legs crossed, then I moved the top leg suddenly and the bottom one was agony, as if it had popped out, then went back in. It happened twice more later that day. The next day I felt really bruised all around my upper thigh/bottom, and it has continued to feel bruised and done the same a couple of times since. If it is possible, is there anything I can do to help it? Helen xx

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Hip help pleaseHmmmm. I was hoping someone may just say that they had similar and it just suddenly got better.

It also happens with my knee and I have to hop around uttering very un lady-like noises until it goes back into place.
As to what can be done to help - don't cross your legs? Sunny Clucker welcome in Barnsley.
Re: Hip help pleaseIf its happened more than once go to the doctor because everytime it happens it weakens, thus ending up with a hip replacement or an op of some sort to strengthen.
Re: Hip help pleaseNot sure that is possible Helen...does it hurt other times? If you have dislocated something you usually have to get it put back in as they don't go back in themselves
I'd see your Doctor..you can't mess about with hips Don't dream it, BE it....
Am looking forward to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Woodbridge Suffolk!!!!! Re: Hip help pleaseI'd think the best thing to do would be to see a doctor, my mum's knee used to always dislocate, the first time was horrendous, ambulance and everything, then after that it would just quickly pop out and go back in (or she'd have to force it in) and it would be really painful after, it was because the joint was really weak so she had to have physio and go to the gym to strengthen it up, it's still not right but it's a lot better =)
Re: Hip help pleaseNo Lizzie, it doesn't hurt in the joint at other times, just feels as if it is really bruised around it. I know I should see a doctor but I know what they will say, take ibuprofen as an anti inflammitory and see.
I was wondering about some strenthening exercises Lisa. Helen xx

Re: Hip help please
You had a lucky escape then Don't dream it, BE it....
Am looking forward to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Woodbridge Suffolk!!!!! Re: Hip help pleaseMy daughter had a similar problem with her elbow.It would dislocate and then go in again Very painful but she seems to have grown out of it.Doesnt help you much..........the gp would probably suggest a vist to the physio for some excercises to strengthen the muscles round the joint.Skiing excercises might help........

Re: Hip help pleaseSkiing now there's a point.
I have just entered a competition for a ski holiday for 4. So if I win you can have it. There I can be helpful sometimes. http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Hip help pleaseSkiiing? OMG I have only been once about 10 years back and nearly killed myself! Although, technically, I knew how it was done, I just couldn't seem to learn how to stop.
