Thank you for following my post. I also have arthritis in my back, right hip, and knees. I am having total right hip replacement in six weeks. I have bursitis in that hip which I feel in my groin. That pain is horrible. I complained about it for a year and not one doctor listened until the hip pain started. After an orthpedic surgeon looked at my xrays and MRI, he spotted the enlarged cyst immediately. If you feel pain and no one listens because you have chronic pain, don't give up until you find a doctor who will listen to you. I suffer needlessly, but it will finally be relieved with my surgery. Thanks to you who listen.

@cak11555 Another cause of leg pain can be if your pelvis is out of alignment or it twists. That causes a nerve compression between major muscles where the nerves pass to your legs through that area. Some people get issues with the SI joints being unstable when muscles don't hold everything in place. I've had my pelvis shift and cause leg pain mostly when I was laying on my back. I've worked on my core strength and stretching what needs to stretch, and it solved that problem. You could get a physical therapy evaluation for your body alignment and see if that also happens to you. Also when you are changing positions, if you have vertebrae that slip (like backward when you lay on your back), that could also explain pain if it happens at the levels of those specific spinal nerves. Sometimes an MRI is completely different standing vs. laying down. I don't know if the doctor will pay attention to a muscular alignment issue when he's looking for disc problems, but you could bring it up and ask.
