At the age of 40 I began to lose Range of Motion of my hips. Now, at the age of 60+ I have lost all lateral ROM of my hips and was wondering if anyone out there has developed the same condition? Doctors have talked about hip replacement but due to lack of pain I feel there has to be more muscle involvement than bone. I can't seem to find info about hips freezing up and would greatly appreciate it if anyone can refer me to where I can find info!
I too have suffered from loss of ROM in my hips. However, unlike you, I am in daily pain. However, I've had MRIs and blood tests, and everything else and I do not have anything wrong with the bones of my hips. I now believe I have adhesive capsulitis, more commonly referred to as "frozen hips". I will be asking my orthopedic surgeon to do a surgical manipulation of my hips. This procedure involves putting you under general anesthesia and the surgeon then moves your hips in ways you no longer can and literally rips out whatever is causing the loss of ROM.
