What Is The Treatment For Pain In Hip Socket?

I have a sharp pain in my groin (female), inside, in my hip socket. When I rotate my leg it seems to catch and it s excruciating. it has been off and on for a couple of years, I tend to compensate by moving carefully, but it s getting worse. Yoga does not help. In fact, it makes it worse, even though I avoid turning out at the hip, so avoid a lot of the warrior poses.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, You have a pain in your hip bones, on and off for nearly 2 yrs and pain increases on turning out the hip. Yoga makes it worse.
In my opinion this can happen in case some anatomical problem in the hip joint- called Femur Impingement syndrome- in which hip bone has a swelling at neck , which on rotation comes again the socket of hip and causes pain.
I suggest get x rays of the hip min 3 views and consult your orthopedic surgeon.
For the time being avoid positions which cause pain.
