Hip Pain When Sleeping for past 5 years

by HipPain, Oct 15, 2009 06:00AM
I am a 26 year old female, 5'8" 130lbs, with a chronic hip pain in my left hip.  Usually begins to cause pain after a long night of sleeping.  Sometimes it will wake me up gasping from the pain if I've rolled over my side at all.  I sleep most painfree on my stomach with leg up to the side.  In the morning I feel like my leg is asleep down to my knee.  It hurts directly in the hip joint, feels like bones are rubbing together and can be up to an 8 on the scale of pain (1-10).  Been to a chiropractor who is stumped as to what it could be.  All xrays came back normal.
Please help!

Hello!

Discuss with your chiropractor about ergonomics. Proper comfortable position is required for sleeping and proper bed is also required.

This may relieve your symptoms if not consider arthritis to be ruled out and follow up near a rheumatologist.

Take care!
