Intense hip pain
Hi! Lateral hip pain can come from the lumbar region or the hip. If it is painful to the touch then you may be experiencing chronic trochanteric bursitis. An X-ray is good to show no hip joint arthritis. This entity is usually treated with rest, ice, massage, stretching and anti-inflammatory treatment. Also, one or two injections separated by three months will cure over 95 percent of people. Good news is that if nonoperative treatment does not work then a standard outpatient procedure can be done to relieve your pain with good to excellent results over 90 percent of the time. An MRI is usually done when nonoperative treatment does not work to ensure no tendon tears. Finally, If you can’t “touch” the pain most likely it is coming from the L5 disc area. READ MORE
Groin strain
Hi! You should obtain X-rays of your lumbar spine and hip. If X-rays are normal then the gold standard would be an MRI to assess for hip pathology such as osteonecrosis vs stress fracture vs other. Don’t forget to have a well-woman check with your OB/GYN to assess for hernia and ovarian etc issues. READ MORE
Knee pain
Hi! You will need to do six weeks of physical therapy if X-rays are normal and anti-inflammatory treatment. If no improvement would do knee MRI. If MRI is normal would have your primary care order rheumatolgical labs to rule out disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. READ MORE

Orthopedic question?
Depends on the alignment and your physiological healing ability. For example, if you have diabetes healing will be longer. If it doesn’t heal in a certain amount of time then your orthopedic surgeon will have to figure out if it is a failure to stabilize or failure of biology. Either way it may require further surgery.
