Muscles in high hip and across buttocks freeze when I walk

Hi, have you found out what the cause is? I am a somewhat younger (57) male, and both my hips on the outside/inside top of the buttocks "freeze" when I walk - typically, when it starts I literally have to stand around for a while & then I can go on slowly. X-rays of hips are perfectly normal, no operations of lower back, legs are equal length. Funny thing is it comes and goes - sometimes my hips are fine, other days they are not. Which makes me think it could be some or other autoimmune disease that "flares" - problem is no other symptoms/culprits that lead the way. And anti inflammatories do not help either. Very weird (And frustrating!)

It sounds like fibromyalgia.I was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia and when I get stressed or any type of anxiety the pain flares up. Not only in different spots of my body but normally with a headache too. No cure and I don't think that any doctor knows how it started. The rheumatologist recommended medical cannabis for the pain. I have hip issues too , I never had so many health problems until I had open heart surgery last year. I use CBD Daily for the pain and that can be purchased from many companies since it does not have any THC......at night to sleep I use the medical cannabis in tincture form and at least I can sleep pain free. My orthopedic surgeon suggested exercise if able, the CBD oil and tylenol. One has to be careful using any nsaids or anti-inflamatroy drugs which can create some serious stomach issues. Always seek the opinion of your doctor for any treatment even vitamins if you have other issues. Hoping you feel less pain soon.
