I too have thigh pain, touch of hip pain and rt leg keeps trying to fall out from under me. Mine is so bad right now that I can hardly walk anywhere other than the house. Have an appointment with a rheumatologist in May. Hopefully some of my big questions will get addressed. My ortho was absoutely usless, not interested at all with any help. He prefers just doing surgery. Just says "I don't know". Going to change orthos if I need surgery in the future.
Sure hope you get some answers soon BIGMAN.
