    Re: Snapping hip or similar - something feels stuck

    Hi Again,
    Yes, I hope that you can have the problem remedied without surgery, however your symptoms are very similar to a relative of mine that eventually had a labral tear repaired, solving the problem.
    Symptoms that change position can be due to the owner (you) changing body posture subconsciously to give the damaged area some recovery time. Such postural change is not as efficient biomechanically
    and alters symptom positioning. There may be a nerve entrapment, however this should not give you a click or stuck feel. If you know someone with a Sacro-iliac joint belt, give that a try, making sure you put the belt
    in the correct position and do it up when laying down.
    Good luck.

    Re: Snapping hip or similar - something feels stuck

    Just wanted to update that I've recently had an NHS physio assessment for this issue. During the assessment I had the feeling that something needed to click so I don't know how it may have affected what the physio found, but he told me that the left side of my pelvis was up compared to my right and that my sacrum appeared to not be functioning correctly.

    When standing my left was up compared to the right.
    When leaning forward my pelvis levelled out.
    When leaning backwards the left side moved up even further compared to my right.

    Does this diagnosis tie in with the symptoms I have already described? Any idea of prognosis? I've hopefully got my next physio session this week.

    Thank you for taking an interest.
