(+) Yeah! (+)

tl;dr I have extra bone growth along both of the bones that form the hip joint. Because they do not fit together perfectly, the bones rub against each other during movement.

This shit hurts so bad. I'm fine sitting down, and it's only affecting the right leg for now, but walking is hell. It started hurting on Friday, and has already been diagnosed with this as of yesterday, and now I'm just waiting to go see an orthopedic.

I don't think they get THAT bad. Most treatment is apparently just physical therapy, and if that doesn't work, the surgery is they just sand the protrusion down, which I'm fine with. It's not a large part of the bone:

No I've had heel spurs though

Thanks. It can lead to hip arthritis, but I don't expect it to get too severe since it was detected this early. I had literally zero issues out of my hips until this happened a week ago.
