Ok, this is a shot in the dark but Google is providing not many results for me.

About 5 days ago my left hip started to feel numb. It isn't exactly numb though, and the sensation is dang near impossible to describe except to say it feels like something is in there. It is painless, but feels full - like if I had something within it that is bloated except it's causing no pain.

The area itself is hard to describe so I'll try and find some anatomy picture and point to the area and upload it before I submit this post.

It doesn't feel like joint pain as I have had bursitis in my right hip and this is a totally different sensation. It doesn't feel like it has anything related to my bone or joints (I'm familiar with those sensations, pains, etc. in other areas). It's almost like a painless swollen lymph, but I don't think lymphs exist there.

The area itself feels like it is about an inch below my hip/pelvic bone and more towards the center than it is towards the side/thigh area. If I had to guess, it's between my side and my ovary but I'm not positive. It feels central, like it's "in there" directly in the tissues between my butt and my frontal region.

I couldn't find a decent picture online so what I upload will have to do. I added a red circle where this weird feeling is.

Hi Ellie,

I have been looking all over the net as your question peaked my interest.... after much reading I have read....

insufficient blood flow to the hip (aseptic necrosis). can cause pain in the hips as you describe.
or
back problems can radiate to the hip.
or
arthritis



PLEASE be careful!!!! My thought is you maybe should contact your doctor.... insufficient blood flow COULD be blood clots and those are nothing to mess with.
