Dolphin, I suggest that you ask your pcp to order an MRI of your hip. Keep in mind plain film xrays like what you had done are only good for looking for breaks or fractures. The MRI is much more definitive & will give a much better picture of the hip.

Take care.

MRI will help diagnose soft tissue injuries. Labrum tears, bursitis for example.
