Severe bilateral hip pain, long after a right hip resurfacing

Are you a man or woman? How old are you? By hip flexor do you mean outside of hip joint or more in the glute? Hip flexor is not really a specific area. I have both hips resurfaced for 16 on right and 9 years on left. I have been running hard for 15 years without any hip issues. Recently, I have experienced what I believe to be SI joint hyper mobility. I am also in no pain when waking up. I get about 100 steps before that joint starts aching. It also causes outside glute pain. The problem with SI joint dysfunction is it is very tough to diagnose. An xray or mri will show some degeneration, but usually nothing specific. It’s a shame the resurfacing didn’t give you many years of activity like mine did. I really felt like my hips were normal when sprinting, jumping, sliding, and diving when playing baseball for the past 15 years. I do believe that running as much as I did with metal on metal hips caused more impact on my lower back and pelvis.
Take a look at your SI joints to see if it makes sense to explain your symptoms. Good luck!

Hi...I'm a 58 yr old male. I do mean the hip flexor, as in soft tissue. It's most painful when sitting down and best when lying down. As the gets progressively worse during the day, the pain migrates around the side of my hip and into the indentation in the glute.
My SI joints were checked and came out clean. What do you think?
I am a 58 year old male. Yes, I do mean hip flexor, as in soft tissue, The pain generally gets considerably worse as the day goes on. The pain is most pronounced when sitting and best when lying down. The pain begins in the hip flexor and it gets worse, it migrates around the side of my hip into the indentation in the glute. At this point, I feel severe pain throughout the entire hip.
I did get my SI Joints checked out, but I was told they were clean....
Any further help? Pain has been very severe. I'll take any help I can get.

@closer0043 if you have metal on metal implants and have begun to experience pain, has anyone suggested measuring the chromium and cobalt levels in your blood? As they wearMoM implants can deteriorate. Heavy metal levels can cause symptoms.
