Hip, Knee and Buttox

[JayW]

Hello all,
I had a lateral release done on my left knee 7 weeks ago. I went in for pain in my hip, but they thought that my knee was probably causing the problems with my hip.  I have a dog who I walk about 2 hours every day.  My left hip has been so painful when walking, I've had to rest. It hurts into my left buttox and my lower back (again all on the left side).  Is there something I should be doing?  I was also told that I have bursitis in my hip (though the term was much longer than bursitis...).  I

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Julie,

Its worth getting an Mri of your hip and have them check it out.  There could be something going on with your hip.  Do you have any  popping or clicking in the hip?
