Does anybodies hip pop everytime they sit down. Well everytime I am sitting and go to move my leg it feels almost like my hip pops out of place and it has to pop again or I feel that I can't move it. I don't what it is but it brings tears to my eyes. Could it be popping agaist the osteopytes or something. I don't know but it really hurts.
Cindy,
Advanced arthritis (end stage) will cause bone spurs that can severely limit your ROM. I had that clicking, majorly and it was the strangest feeling that I have ever had. That clicking/popping told me that indeed I needed a hip. I really had no need to get an x-ray to know that I needed hip surgery.
Have a happy turkey day.

Cindy,
I would have your Dr. take x-rays. It could be your femoral head has slipped some more and has become unstable. I read about your condition at www.eorthopod.com. Since they use screws to secure the slipped portion of your femoral head, I would think a hip resurfacing is not feasible unless it can acccommodate the screws in your femoral head, although I am not a Dr. Check out the Totally Hip website listed on www.activejoints.com. This is an active web board for patients having THR's.
Hey Cindy,
I work construction and before my surgery my hip poped and clicked all the time.I could just stand straight up and move my leg an inch and it would click. I could move my leg back and forth and it would click every time.As far as sitting down it wouldn't click,but when I stood up it took awhile for me to straighten my leg out cause it would get locked into the bent position,as soon as I got it straightened out it would click.Good luck and stay strong.

Cindy,
Before I had my BHR's done, my hips -- especially my right hip -- would seem to slip out slightly and lock up on me. I would have to work the hip back into place before I could stand up. Have not had any probelms with that since my BHR's, thankfully.

Thats exactly how it feels. It feels like it locked up and has to unlock before I can move it again. It hurts bad when it does that to.
Cindy,
I also had this problem prior to surgery on my right hip and am still having it on my left hip (surgery scheduled in 2 weeks for that hip). The Dr told me it was because my hip was going into subluxation. My problem was dysplasia. It was exactly as you describe. When I changed position or stood from a sitting position it would pop out of place and the pain was severe. It had to Clunk back into place before I could weight bear and then the pain would go away.
Thankfully since my surgery 6 weeks ago my right hip feels great with a much improved range of motion. I hope you get your problem sorted out soon and wish you all the bst for your surgery and recovery.

Thanks Barbara,
Thats definately the way I feel too. I can't wait until surgery. I have 42 days left and I would love it to be sooner but thats the only way I can work things out with my family. I have to wait until my husband gets vacation. I have issues in both of my hips but my right is terrible. I am taking two diffenent pain meds everyday. One is an extended release and the other is for breakthrough and by 3pm I barely can walk. If it wasn't for all of the time off from work around the holidays, I probably couldn't make it. I only have one more day of work this week and after the 2nd week of December I have all of my preop stuff and my other opinion. One last opinion never hurts. I have don't think what I have is dysplasia but it is similar because its due to a slipped head and neck when I was a child. It just really scares me because I am only 26 and I will have mutiple of these to go through in my lifetime.
