Hip pain

I don’t know if anyone will see this as it’s 4 years later, but thought I’d comment with an update in case anyone is going through the same thing. I’ve been referred to a rheumatologist because the pain is progressing, comes and goes in “flares” and has started in both shoulders too. The doctor has put forward a couple of suggestions: 1) autoimmune disease (I would guess myosotis or some form of arthritis) since there is now a diagnosed case of autoimmune disease in the family (my sister has crohns), or 2) hEDS since I meet various diagnostic criteria. So yeah. Yay.

My daughter has an impinged hip. You can see a small bone protrusion into the hip socket on the X-ray. They wanted to do surgery last summer, but we put it off until she finishes growing. It hurts when she runs, plays tennis, or stands for long periods of time. She has a tens machine and that helps with the pain.
