What Causes Popping Sound In The Right Hip?

My 13 year old daughter has been complaining that her right hip pops whenever she moves in various ways. She did not injure it. This has been going on for about a month, not painful, just noticeable. Yesterday and today she said it s popping more frequently and is very painful. When I felt it, it almost seemed to dislocate and pop back into place. Is this normal, or should we see a doctor?

Hi,

I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, people don't feel the hip dislocate. I don't think you can be wrong about this. Good news and bad is that it is most commonly due to an inborn condition that changes with growth. The bad news is that a doctor intervention is generally needed to make sure things grow the right way. It is not that rare for it to be part of an overall disorder of the connective tissue that is going to produce even more problems in other places over time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
