Pain Around Hip After Standing For Long. Normal X Ray, DEXA Test. Is Taking Scan Recommended?

I am 45 years old healthy male. My area around the hip to the front of the right leg hurts ( semi circle) when I stand for a long time. It goes away immediately when I sit down. I have no problem when I walk or run. It happens only when I stand. This is being going on for the past 6 months. I went to an orthopedic and he took an X ray and couldn't find anything. I also took at DEXA test and that also looked good. What is the issue? Do I need to take a scan to see whether there is any nerve realted issue?

Hello,

I have studied your case.
As per your history there can be possibility of hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do MRI of hip and you can consult with your doctor.


Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
If required intra-articular injection can be given but do MRI hip before it.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
