hip pain only with certain movements

@mabfp3 Sorry to say , but groin pain is usually indicative of hip problems. I was a jogger, but had not been running for a few months due to a dislocated shoulder. When i went back to running, after a few weeks, i noticed after the run i had groin pain. At first i thought it was because I was increasing my mileage too quickly. When it continued to get worse, i finally saw my PCP who diagnosed osteoarthritis. I then saw an orthopedist who took his own Xrays and told me my right hip was bone on bone. I was an immediate candidate for surgery. I was not ready for surgery then. I went to PT, had to go to walking instead of running. Almost a year later when the osteoarthritis was starting to more severely affect other aspects of my life, i decided to have the surgery. The surgery was definitely worth doing.

Thank you so much for your reply! Like you, I am continuing to do exercises that my PT recommended for increasing muscle strength around the hip area. I do think that this sharp groin pain (that comes and goes) is probably related to my left hip. Because I had such a terrible experience with knee replacement surgery, I want to put off hip surgery for as long as I can. To hear you say that the surgery was definitely worth doing does give me hope!
