I’ll trade you my burger flipping job for your office job. Feel a clicking in my left hip when high kicking due to an enlarged ball or socket or something.

Doc I saw (not a hip specialist) doesn’t think it’s arthritis, but condition probably won’t go away without arthroscopic surgery.

Reading some of the unfortunate stuff here is scaring me a bit regarding surgery, maybe even moreso than the enormous surgical and rehabilitation expenses I’ll incur if I go the surgery route.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but anyone has experience with hip surgery or arthroscopic surgery? Football players have arthroscopic surgeries all the time without problems, right?
You need to see an ortho.

There are horror stories, but I've had both shoulders and a knee worked on. No probs, but the best knee and shoulder guy in the Central Valley.

I had some left hip pain, too much commute time. Strengthening the glutei medius really helped:

Good luck.
