Hi, as a post back surgery spondy member, it wasn't until 2 yrs after my surgery that MY hips began to hurt. I had the same level fused as did you. When we fuse our vertebra, our lower level as I'm sure your aware, can no longer move in sinc with the upper level. To have deteriation or damage is inevitable. Becuz my sacrum cannot move, it has caused my hips to misalign and hurt quite a bit. I'm rekindling my relationship with my chiro and his office so I can fight any further deteriation and find relief. I really with you health and wellness!! *hugs*
Hi there!
Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the hip pain. Possibilities that may need to be considered include infections/ inflammations, bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, capsulitis, ligament/ tendon tears, growths/ tumours, nerve impingement, avascular necrosis, fractures, dislocations, spinal issues/ referred pain from other regions etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
