I am a 45 year old slightly overweight
woman. For about 2 weeks, I have had
this intermittent pain in the side of my
upper right thigh/bottom of the hip.
Sometimes the pain seems to radiate and
feels like it's also in the muscles of my
butt, but mostly it feels like it's in the
bone. It comes and goes any time of the
day. The pain is not worse with use.
It does not hurt more when I put pressure
on it or lie on it. Nothing appears
swollen.
It's getting very annoying as it seemed to
crop up from nowhere. I am a
hyphochondriac and am fearing I have bone
cancer. I am constantly focusing on and
anticipating the pain.
Has anyone had this before. If so, what
caused/relieved it?
Your comments are very much appreciated.

It could also be something as simple as
tendonitis. I had it a few years back
and the pain tends to radiate through your
hip and leg so it's hard to pinpoint where
it is coming from. It can hurt whether
moving or lying down. I would still see
a doctor or and orthopaedic doctor to make
sure you have the right diagnosis.
Sometimes arthritis or a cyst can cause
problems too.
