Go to a sports Dr (sounds weird but is not) They get joint pain better than most ortho's.  If you don't live in a major city at least get 2nd opinion.  Dr's tend to slough off pain especially from women because, well don't get me going there. If you're in pain, somethings wrong. I've had major ortho surgery 5 times and know when it works and when it doesn't

NO NO NO. Bursitis in NOT caused by back problems!!!  OMG that dr. is not giving you good info.  It is an inflammation of the Bursa sac that is in the joint.  It swells and then causes pressure and pain.  You can use ice and ibuprofen (if okay with dr.) or some other kind of NSAID.  You can also get injections into the joint that will take away the pain (they hurt a bit but are worth it if it helps). You may be sitting to much and aggravating the bursitis but you need more into about it.  Go to webmd and put in bursitis to learn more about it.  It is worth learning about.  Unfortunetly no one is too young to get arthritis.

Could be fibromyalgia...check out a health site on fibromyalgia and it will give you the eighteen tender spots that is common,,,I have it myself.....the joint pain could be arthritis....you didn't say how old you are

Pain is the #1 sign.  Laying on the floor or bed check to see if one leg is shorter than the other.  In this position, also check to see if the leg rotates inward or outward.  These are also signs  If a fx hip is suspect, you must go in & have an xray to rule out a fx.  I am an RN and have seen many fx's.  Hope this helps.

Go to your doctor and have them take a look at it, two years is a long time for a nagging injury to be around.  you definitely need to have someone check it out, and maybe end up going to physical therapy to strengthen your core.

How old is your granddaughter and was she born with this problem?  Has your granddaughter ever seen a Orthropedist?  They are bone specialist and they would be able to help her out better.  Medical technology has advanced since I was a baby.  I was born in 1964 and the doctors then told my parents I had "swivel hips" which made one leg longer than the other.  As I got to be around 3 yrs. old I had knock knees, where my knees would come close together, in a inwards style.  Not to mention I was born with flat feet and bunions.\n\nMy family didn't catch these problems in time, so now in my adult life I have to pay for their ignorance.  Make your granddaughter a appointment to see a bone specialist.  They will perform x-rays on her and run some other tests and they will determine what she needs.\n\nGood luck to your granddaughter and you for caring about her so much!\n\nI hope I was of some help to you!

I get my chiropractor to do it.  Make sure that's what you actually did though, I knew a girl, thought she put her hip out and really she gave herself a stress fracture.  Call your doctor.

might just be stress.....but you might want to see a doc and if you're under the age of 25 you might want to have a bone density scan as the shot has been know to deplete bone density which can lead to osteoporosis later in life...younger women tend to make up the bone density if they go off the shot..but older ladies tend to loose it for good.....hope that's a bit of a help....

I have read, and my wife who suffers as you do confirms, that the type of pain you describe does feel as if it originates in the hips but actually originates in a pinched nerve in the spine, the sciatic nerve if I recall correctly, and most often results from stenosis.

In the thigh bones? How old are you - if you're in your teens, it could be growing pains.\n\nHow long as the pain lasted? Does it come and go? How intense is it? Do certain motions bring it on? \n\nYou should see a physician about this. Probably not poison - poisons generally impact the nerves, muscles and blood.

Oh it's very easy to damage your knee, especially after you have already had an injury.  You have to be very careful.  You cannot do the things you did prior to injury.  Any twisting, over extending, bouncing especially will hurt it and I bet it's full of fluid isn't it?  You can actually feel it.  That is when you know you've reinjured it.  Same thing with the back.  The pain in your buttocks is from the sciatica nerve that runs through your SI joint in the back.  That is the most common area for both injury and pain.  Age has nothing to do with it...I have had a bad back since around 19 years of age...threw it out I can't even count how many times.  Finally I just had to give up things I knew were bad (most exercises and sports included in that!) and do more back-friendly ones.  When I was pregnant with my 3rd I guess I had put on a lot of wieght during that pregnancy and my knee was in agony for 6 months till I dropped all the weight.  Being overweight is really hard on the knees...on the feet too.\n\nSo now you know that you should avoid some of what you do or just be careful not to overdo it and go easy when exercising.  Give it time to heal before doing anything again and just go slow and see what happens.

The doctor is obliged to tell you the cause of the "loss of cushioning". What you have is arthritis of the hip joint. You are very young to have degenerative arthritis unless you damaged your hip sometime back which in this case is called traumatic arthritis. Ever been on steroids long term, or been on alcohol to excess, or doing deep sea dives? The reason I asked is you might be suffering from avascular necrosis of the femoral head which could lead to early degenerative arthritis. Ask your doctor about this condition or look it up on the net.

it's probably not osteoporosis, it's probably Scoliosis. Which is very common, go see your pediatrician

I have had it for 8 years. It is not pleasant. It is a sharp pain that never goes away and that pills will only barely help. It is an ongoing thing. I had surgery 6 yrs ago to open the blood flow back up b/c with AVN the blood supply to the joints gets slowed down. Eventually the hip ball joint will collapse and will need a hip replacement. If u need any info or any help or anything let me know. I'd be happy to help.

I fractured my right iliac crest growth plate (growth plate on the hip) this January from too much running. I do winter and spring track, and I hurdled too much and the oblique muscles in my stomach just pulled the growth plate away from the actual crest until it fractured. I thought it was kind of weird too, because I'm only 15, but my athletic trainer said it was a common injury among hurdlers. \n\nDuring the time that I wasn't allowed to run, I would go bike in the weight room (no ellipticals; they stress hips because you're putting weight on it vertically, bikes don't because you are sitting) for a workout everyday. Near the end of the healing, I started doing side leg lifts and ball exercises to strengthen my hip so it wouldn't fracture again. When I got back during the beginning of spring track from my 6 weeks prescribed rest to heal the fracture (no cast or anything, I was lucky), I began to run long runs, 30 min to an hour on grass and soft surfaces. I was raring to go then, and I felt pretty good. It hurt a little because I had lost some range of motion, but with continuous stretching I was able to start working out with the team. I also started hurdling and long and triple jumping again. \n\nI guess I overworked it a bit though, because after 2 or 3 weeks of hurdling and jumping it started hurting a lot. My jumping coach took me off of triple jumping and switched my lead leg on long jumping, but I kept on hurdling normally. The hip bothered me a little all throughout the rest of the season, but I was still able to end the season with a 1st place at the freshman champs. This summer, I ran a lot and tried to strengthen my hips more. Winter track is starting next week, and I hope nothing happens that will stop my hurdling career. \n\nYou should run, but be very attune with your body and stop whenever you feel that something hurts. Then, hit the weight room. If you have an athletic trainer at your school, you could ask him to help warm it up before workouts or meets by using heat pads or with electrolysis (a machine passes currents through your body; it helps warm up muslces). Hopefully, that will help your running.\n\nGood luck with running!

I have been having sharp pains in my left hip/shoulder and ribs for the past couple years or so that have been progressively getting worse. i made an effort  the last few weeks not to sleep on that side by moveing to the couch. the narrowness helps keep me from turning over in my sleep. just doing this has lessened the pain considerably.
