Q: Hip Problem? Possibly Dislocation?

Hi everyone,
Today I was getting on my horse and my left foot was planted on the mounting block and right leg was swinging over. Just as I mounted I felt a huge ammount of pain in my left hip. At first I thought it was just a cramp, and it would go away. I rode the horse, but when I dismounted I was very uncomfortable in my left side and my left hip was very stiff.

It seemed ok though, but a few hours later it was just horrible achey and stuff. I couldnt sit on it, (now I can), but also found it sore to stand on it.

My mom was telling me about this problem she had as a teenager from mounting horses where her hip used to dislocate itself.

Do you think it could be the same problem here? If so, what causes the problem?

Thank you everyone,
Meg

Hip Problem

Hi Meg,

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago. I was ironing in my bedroom and the iron fell off onto the carpet. I made a sudden lurching motion from my left to the right and it was unbelievable searing pain. I saw stars. It was a really deep pain. Never had that ever before.

I straightened up and took it easy for a few days. Then back to work in my vineyard and leaning over in that same position, the same pain. I was thankful I made it back up the hill to the house.

The thing about this is it is so painful to actually sit for any period of time.

Sometimes it is on the outside of the left hip and sometimes it is on the interior where I feel a weakness there.

If you hear if this is hip displacement, please let me know.
