Okay Freepers. Time to play Freeper MD.
For three weeks my hip has been killing me. left side.
Doesn't hurt when I jabbed with my thumb.
Has been hurting when I lay on it.
The last three days, it has been hurting when I sit.
My vainglorius head is getting bigger but, I discern no deformation or growth in the area of pain.
As I sit here typing this out, it is throbbing.
Get to guessing.
Bursitis? Just the fun of being a bit over 50? Hypochondriac? I'm no longer hip?
My guess it bursitis. I am pretty flexible. Can still nearly do the splits, though not as well I did when worked out all the time and I put my palms on the floor and go further just to show off.

Get on with it...
Just curious if y'all have any experience and it turned out to be something a cortisone shot took care of.

Get a new mattress.
Thing is too soft as it is.
Get a new hip.

See a podiatrist to see if custom orthotics would help align your body and take the stress off load bearing joints
Arthritis?
Sounds like you need a new hip. We just went through that.
You need Dr. Butcher.
I'd keep jabbing it with your thumb. People might think you're weird but it should save you tons on medical bills.
Probably arthritis but you need a doctor to tell you that, preferably after an x-ray. My right hip hurts after I have been in the bed too long . I have taken glucosamine-and-chondroitin for years for arthritis. Without it I probably couldn’t walk or do much with my hands or turn my head. I still work in a job that requires a lot of walking.
Go to Web MD and follow the instructions for a diagnosis which should be fairly close.
I do best on a board. I chucked the mattress a year ago and sleep on reed mats on a board.
Vendome: Has been hurting when I lay on it.
Doctor: Don’t do that.
Smoke some cannabis.
Are you eating the proper amount you need to per day?
That can impact skin, muscle, and perhaps joints as well.
Also, think about your water intake too.
Too many of us don’t drink what we need to either.
Don’t lay on that hip for a while. Let it build up.
Strange as it may seem, you may have developed something like a bed sore internally. It may be inflamed and need some TLC.
Which back pocket do you have your wallet ?
How big is your wallet ?
take it from there.
funny. Don’t carry a wallet in my back pocket...
I don’t see anything wrong with it. (couldn’t resist. I wish you well).
maybe I can cut back on Diet Coke.
As for eating, well, I never miss a meal...
