Hello, I have been having continues pain I my hip. It started out about 3 months ago as an ache but It keeps me awake at night and doesn t let up. I finally went to the doctor and he did X-rays. It shows I have several cysts on my fermrol neck. He is concerned about my hip breaking and has also scheduled me for an MRI. Is there a possibility this is the beginning signs of cancer. He did express concern and also puzzled by the locations of all the cysts.
Hello, I have studied your case. Your hip x-ray shows cyst around joint which can be due to avascular necrosis hip. As per your x-ray findings there can be hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN]. I will advise you do MRI of hip, and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor. Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulfate. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help. Possibility of cancer is less likely. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. You should consult orthopedic specialist for clinical examination and further management. Hope this answers your query.
