I've been diagnosed and referred to a surgeon.
Apparently I have "Snapping Hip Syndrome" and that's a ligament or cartilage problem in the hip. From my Internet searching it seems that I have the worse kind (lucky me) with the interior of the hip affected and I am experiencing pain. Boy, am I experiencing pain! I have been crippled up and in agony for the past six weeks. Often this malady is painless but not in my case.
If the ligaments are stretched there are injections and physical therapy available to help. If there is tearing of the tissue then surgery may be required. I am not encouraged that my MD made an appointment for me with a surgeon. That sounds bad. Although it's probably a fairly minor type of surgery.
What's weird is that this is an ailment associated with athletes. It's caused by excessive exercise and physical activity. Who? Me?
Anyone have any experience with this or know someone who has?

Sounds like you're spending too much time being a newlywed. Cut down on the Cialis, man. 0 -
It's good to know that it's a minor surgery... 0 -
Take care friend and may God Bless You. Here's to a speedy recovery too. 0 -
Pain really hurts.
I am sorry you are experiencing so much of it, and hope you are repaired properly, quickly, and painlessly.
Be very careful with narcotic pain killers. I know what I'm talking about.
Best wishes,

Get well soon there, pardner. Hope the pain and discomfort subside and that the surgery is a complete success. [^] 0 -
Not exactly but 3 years ago I had my hips replaced. I was 33. The ball of my femur died and basically ground away. I do feel your pain. Most of mine was from my leg muscles being so tight all the time trying to keep my hip in socket. Can't do all the things I used to do but am better than nothing. Good luck to you. 0 -
Tuesday I had bicep tendon surgery, as I had torn it. It is now screwed back to the bone for it to reatach and heal the arm will be immobilized for 6 weeks then I'll start physcial therapy. I'm right handed and that is the arm that is affected. Doc says at least 6 months before a full recovery snd back to my same physcial strengh , need to take it slow to make sure I don't tear it agsain before it is healed. Best wishes for you on a speedy recovery. 0 -
Dang Frank, your luck sounds like mine! Glad it's minor surgery, but if you're like me, I don't like them cutting on me anywhere, any time, for any reason.
Do what it takes to get healthy and out of pain, and I'll say a prayer that all goes well for you. Sounds like it may be tough to ride the bike for a while!
Take care my friend!

Don't know about what you've got, but had a hip replacement last year and it was a breeze. I don't know why I put up with all that pain before.
It's all good.0 -
I too hope you heal quickly.
If you need anyone to take the bike out for a walk give me a call.[:0][:0]0 -
I'll save a beer or two for when you recover. You're welcome to come by and pick them up any time. 0 -

That sounds like it would be painful. If surgery is necessary, I hope it can be fixed and you have a full recovery. Surgery is the fun part. Those rehab nurses can be mean. [:D] 0 -

SP,
Sorry to hear about that. I hope it all gets taken care of quickly and you're good as new ASAP!0 -
Good luck for a fast recovery, but also keep us posted of any estate sale.[:p] 0 -
Save yourself a trip to the doctor......
Sex, lots of sex, all the time sex and everywhere sex cures the hip problem. And if by some misfortune it does not cure it at least you had lots of sex!
My mother in law had that hip thing and it took surgey to fix it. She did it exercising too hard.0
