I completed six weeks of physical therapy but continued to have severe pain in my entire hip area all the way down to my
knee. I also continued dancing, so I figured the
pain was continuing because of that. Soon after physical therapy my hip began to make a popping noise every time I lifted my leg in front or behind me, but never when I lifted my leg to the side of my body. I went back to an orthopedic doctor and he suggested more x-rays, but never a CT scan or an MRI.
