Hip pain only at night

I went to the Dr today and it was pretty good news

Xrays showed my hip joint to be in good shape with plenty of Cartlidge and both hips looking the same. No bone on bone areas

Back is in good shape, he said my spine is the best he has seen in a while

Movement of both hips and flexibility was the same for thee physical tests he put me through

Based on the location of the discomfort he believes my Bursa sac is inflamed. I think that is called Bursitis. He is going to schedule me for an injection to reduce the inflammation. He said that sometimes fixes it permanently or for several months. If it doesn't take care of it within a week, then he will need to look elsewhere.

I look at that as good news

great news!
 
Bursitis is pretty common and good news - the least problematic diagnosis! A cortizone shot there should give you several months of relief and time for it to calm down.
