Shooting Hip Pain
For the last few months I’ve developed an unrelenting shooting hip pain in my left hip only. My left side is my side that constantly gives me trouble to begin with but this shooting pain is get worse. I used to feel it only when sitting but now I feeling it when laying down too. It’s not along my butt but literally running right down my hip. It’s not a sore muscle feeling but definitely nerve related. Anyone get a shooting pain in their hip?
