Go and see your MT. If a hip is degenerating it will get worse and some mobility tests and an x-ray will show what’s going on. It’s much better to get the problem sorted when you are young and fit rather than older and possibly facing other health challenges. Bon chance …
And ‘just’ hormonal isn’t a reason to ignore it!
I’ve probably told this before but, before I knew anything about prostate cancer, I was googling to find out what it was all about and almost the first hit was a story about a runner who went to the doctor with hip pain which was diagnosed as metastasised prostate cancer in the hip.
Now I had just been diagnosed but I’d been going to the physio for months with hip pain so there was a moment of sheer terror. I doubt anyone has ever been so happy to be diagnosed with osteoarthritis!
Almost exactly what happened to my brother in law but it wasn’t prostate cancer originally. His was diagnosed originally as joint issues with the hip and spine but it was an agressive cancer. By the time he got a scan it was too late and he died three weeks later.
Don’t ignore it Tory.
I was in my late 40s when the pain started and was told I was too young to have such problems. Repeated hospital visits echoed the same answer until I met with a new consultant.
He asked me if I wanted to continue with the extreme discomfort or have a replacement.
I was then 54 and never looked back. My joint replacement is 17 years in August and is as good as new which is more than I can say for the rest of me.
