Popping Hip Anyone?

My right hip pops too, sounds just like your's. I've also had some hip problems, but the right hip has been popping for as long as I can remember.

but my father-in-law is a carpenter and his hips used to pop all the time from Judo. He's now in his mid 60s and his hips got so bad he had to have a hip replaced with a steel ball....this is what awaits us in our golden years

hahaha...wonderful news lol

I've had this too. I've been told that it could be the IT band or some muscle snapping over the bone/joint area. I know that I've had less of it after good massage waork on the hip flexors, glutes, etc. I think that flexibility and muscular balance are key to minimizing this.

I have the exact same thing in my left hip. Many times I'm just sitting in class and I'll move and it makes a loud pop. I don't really have many problems with my hip but my IT band on that leg is really tight.

I have the same thing with my hiop, it will pop into place when I move to the side when sitting. Anyone know what causes this because it has been causing me pain recently.

My left hip often pops. I can stand and move my leg and it will keep popping audibly everytime. My ITB's are both pretty tight so I always assumed it was related to that; sometimes I pop my hip during stretching since I sort of think it will help my loosen up. Not sure if it helps at all, but the actual act of popping it has never been painful.

If it popping deep inside at the joint I'm not sure how to solve that one...but if it feels like tendons and such are snapping back and forth over the Greater Trocanter (sp?) which is the actual boney nub that is just off the surface of your outside "hip area" then the person who talked about massage and glute / abductor work is right on. Lie on a tenis ball and get the TFL worked really good (can obviously do that at home)...stregthen the glutes and the abductor muscles.

My hip pops when I rotate internally...... it's nothing to be conerned about, though.

mlbfan, my right hip pops too from time to time, most especially after I've been sitting for a good bit or when awakened from sleep. This all started occurring after my right hip injury, same story as you. No pain when running but does get tight.

Sometimes I enjoy the popping feeling. I am fearful of hip replacement later though.

i have it from a leg length descrepancy when wearing insoles it starts with popping then pain and popping(pain from the muscles). Hips are still fine.So when i run now i either wear frees 1/3 and the other 2/3 insoles + stable shoes + 1 heel raise on left leg so my right hip doesnt suffer that much.Wish running was more simple for me.

both my hips pop, no matter what i am doing. Iv never have had any injuries or anyhting that i know of. also after i run, even if its not that far, my hip will tighten and really hurt. I mean, im only 14 so this kind of scares me. I am also sceduled to go in for a MRI to se what is wrong. my momther, who is also a doctor, says that it might be degeneritive(sp?) bone mass or something. do you think this might be a real problem? I need help. Thanx for your time.
