I dont know allot about hip problems but im a dancer!. i would say go to a doctor and see whats happening! it would totally suck if this problem got any worse and you had to stop dancing!. so yea!.!.!. go to a doctor and see if there is any therapy or anything that could help with this, it sounds like it could get really serious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

first i want to say that I'm totally sorry!. and second i want to say that its OK if your hip pops when you do a grande plie because i do all the time but if it's hurting like you say it is then i would probably to see a doctor!. that would really be the best thing to do!. because if you don't know what it is and its still hurting then you need to go see a professional about it and really see whats wrong!. i hope it works out for you!! again I'm really sorry!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You asked this question before!. Go to the doctor, why didn't you go the first time you noticed it happened!. Don't dance for the rest of the year!. (except recital) You can have a fracture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I had the same problem, I dance too and it got me really worried!. I went to the doctor and basically he suggested physical therapy!. I personally had no time in my schedule because of dance for that (but I'm sure that's the best option)!. I ended up just keeping it very warm during practice and being very gentle with it!. Eventually it got better!. So my advice is to first see a doctor and if you don't have time for a physical therapy regime a heating pad, alieve and sweat pants are your best friend!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

no big deal!. don't sweat it!.!. i've been dancing for 12 out of my 15 years on the earth and peobably 5 of the past years have been really severe pain in my hips, knees, and ankles!. i went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with oshgood slaughters or something!.!. which is a knee disorder!. whatever is causing the pain in your hips might not be the hips themselves, but your knees or ankles!. i also have flat feet, which contributed to it as well!.!. go to the doctor and get it chekced out i'm sure you'll be able to dance just as much as you are now, but i wouldn't wait because it could get worse!.

hope i helped sweetieWww@QuestionHome@Com
