I have very bad pain associated with the popping noise my hip makes with sprinting, this sounds stupid but im afraid to sprint as fast as i can cause im afraid my hips going to pop, beause of the pain associated with it. My orthopedic thinks its my iliopsoas tendon snapping over one of the bones or whatever. (Internal Snapping Hip) He reccomends i do stretches and try to build up muscle. He did say something about surgery, but he says it wont be possible for me to be a great athete with the surgery? Cause if the stretching does not help i have no idea what i am going to do because it hurts so bad to sprint. Im a very very competitve softball player/pitcher, and i play some basketball. I have tried sitting out for over 6 weeks and still have the same painful popping, Has anyone had the surgery? Also when i lay on my left side with my right leg raised, if i bend my leg towards my head (knee close to head) i hear about three popping noises, then when i straighten my leg out i hear a louder popping noise.
I need opinions, Thanks!!
