Q. My right hip pops loudly. What could be the reason?
Hi doctor,
I am a 27 year old female. My weight is 135 lbs and height is 5'7". For the past two months, my right hip pops very loudly for at least once or twice a day when I sit on my knees and lean to my right. It hurts badly for a second and then the pain goes away. Though if it does not pop, my hip feels stiff. I have not been injured lately or broken any bones before. I am wondering what it possibly could be. I am a waitress and most days I run 8 or more hours without a break. Could that be the problem?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Popping feeling or sound around a joint is often due to soft tissue rubbing over a bony prominence. They may or may not be painful.
- Other cause can be from within the joint, and this is more significant as it may come from the joint moving abnormally or something that is catching on the joint.
- The first thing you need to do is to try and avoid doing it and resist the temptation of releasing the joint; gradually you will fall out of the habit.
- If it does not go away or remains painful, then see your doctor for a clinical exam and get an MRI.
