What could cause sudden hip oint pain in a healthy 25 year old?


Question:
I woke up from my nap, took a shower and had sudden hip joint pain now for the past 5 hours.

It is intense...i have to alter my walk to make me comfortable. It feels good to stretch it certain ways, but it doesnt make it better.

Did I sleep on it wrong? I did nothing traumatic to it today that I can think of...ust took a nap then a shower then OUCH!!

It feels like it is in the oint area on my left hip and the stretch feels good when i sort of twist my leg backwards...i had to have my boyfriend help me with this!

Answers:
Sometimes if I sleep on my side too long it can really make my hip hurt. I bet that's what you did. Also if it's right before or during your period and you sleep on your side, it can really hurt. I have this happen from time to time.
You could have an overuse injury. Did you work out strenuously in the last day?
you might want to consult a doctor about this. a friend of mine recently complained of hip pain. x-rays and test showed that her femoral head (located at the top of the femour bone) was twisted.

she was told that she could have it fixed now or she could wait until later in life. however, later in life could mean free handycap parking. by the way, she just turned 28.
