Need possible diagnose for pain in Right leg/hip.? I am 16 years old. I play JV and Varsity volleyball. I have a small body (106lbs, 5'2). I have had shooting pains in my hip and knee for about 2 years. I have went to my doctor and they say it is my frame. but a new symptom has arose about two months ago. My calf is now having burning sensations every 3 hours of the day or when I land/step on it. This is really affecting me and my school work and volleyball. I keep getting the same answers from my doctor and my mother will not take me to go get a x-ray or MRI or a CT without a doctors consent. I need to have something to go by if I am to go back to the doctors. thanks for the information. please get to me ASAP.

sounds like you mite have a mild case of Sciatica which is compression and/or irritation of one of five nerve roots that give rise to the sciatic nerve, or by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve itself which can cause shooting pains in the hip that travel through out the leg...

You don't give enough specific information to be of much help. What I suggest is that you see a physical therapist. They will evaluate your posture, muscular balance, strength, flexibility, and neurological tests. This will allow them to see if the problem is structural, coming from the design of the body, muscular imbalances, or a neurological reason. The problem might be as simple as overuse of one side of the body or the necessity of using a foot orthotic. Without seeing you it is impossible to tell if any of these things are present causing the issues you talk about. See a physical therapist or an orthopedist about the problem.

Your mother CAN'T take you without an order from a doctor. These tests are like prescriptions - just like you can't go to the pharmacy and say give me vicodin without a doctor's order. You have to go to the doctor FIRST, and they decide if one of these tests are necessary.
