Thanks for your reply @gently. My hip socket is definitely shallow and I can see that part of the head of the femur is resting outside the area it should fit inside.
The last ortho doc I went to did mention that it's really impossible to dislocate that joint unless there's severe trauma (such as a car accident), so that's a little reassuring I guess lol
I've worked with three chiropractors in the past and know it works, but I don't think that's a route I'll take as any adjustment they make will not help a whole lot simply because of how my hip and femur are (doc said I was born like this).
Both docs wanted me to go on Mobic (meloxicam) for a month. I picked up the prescription but still thinking about it. I told the last doc that the previous doc wanted me on the same med and after reading about all the side effects, I chose not to. His reply was "don't read the box" and "If you read the side effects of Tylenol, you'd never take Tylenol". Probably some truth to that. They both prescribed 15mg, which is the highest dose (the only other dose is 7.5mg). I'm considering quartering the pills and doing roughly 3.75mg a day for a week, then 7.5mg for a week or two and see how I feel. I'm not a fan of drugs but maybe clamping down on the inflammation temporarily would help.
