An MRI revealed that I have hip dysplasia and the popping sensation was the head of my femur grinding against my shallow hip socket whenever it would pivot laterally.

so what they did for you after? hip replacement at age of 40 or you deal with it?

That sound you hear isn't a pop, it's just a queef coming from your gaping vagina. Need to double up a husband stitch

Chad, just fricking stretch. You're getting old dude.

maybe not the pop, but definitely the hip tightness during the workout.

Read some of these stretches

best ones, imo

#1
#2
#4 (hold on to something when you first start if you have to. A pole, heavy desk etc)
#5
#9
#10

if youre really tight, it is going to be a little uncomfortable. But if you give it 10-15mins, you'll stand up and feel like a new man. Better squat depth for sure. Plus relieves back tension

cool, will look into it and start.

Mine sounds like a semi-automatic weapon going off when I do this. I don't worry about it.

Ok, dammit, since Lester is the only one that gave u a response worth reading, I'll chime in & try to keep it simple. It's more than likely a centration issue. Your joints sit together perfectly balanced & aligned like a well designed machine. The muscles & corresponding tendons that attach to the hip area are numerous since it is the 2nd most mobile joint in the body. When the hip is put in an extreme position of flexion (shortened)for long periods (months, years sitting at a desk), the muscles that are responsible for flexion tend to want to stay in that shortened position & get tight. The muscles that oppose it, in your case the glutes, are in a constant state of lengthening. This tends to make them tight & weak
Google "self myofascial release illiopsoas" or "smfr illiopsias"
Start there, then stretches for the same thing. Then once u get em loose, strengthen the arse to cement the mobility. Get on dem deadlifts baw.

Eta: when a change in posture of joint occurs due to muscles acting on it from either dominance or weakness, a centration (or alignment) problem can occur. That's my def, not websters, so take it with a grain

I bet LeBron's legs don't do this bullshite

Consider yourself lucky. My issue arose when I was 22 and I was diagnosed at 23. Most skeletal abnormalities are not observed until much later in life and it is much more prevalent in younger females (late 20s).

The specialist I spoke to at the Bone and Joint Clinic of Baton Rouge said that I only had two treatment options:

1) Have my hip replaced. Even he admitted that this was the least practical solution due to the lack of longevity for such surgical fixtures. Most bolts, screws, etc., aren't intended to last more than 15 to 25 years at the most. Therefore, I would have needed to endure multiple future alterations to keep everything up-to-date.

2) Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO). This surgery is a little less severe and involves merely reshaping the hip joint so that everything moves properly. The problem was that the orthopedist I spoke to said that there were really only two qualified specialists who could perform the operation. One of them is located in Los Angeles and is damn near impossible to schedule and the other operates out of Chicago.

As of thus far, I have not committed to any surgery. I'm too young to sacrifice my hip, and the more specific procedure is difficult to schedule due to travel, finances, and time.

I have had to adjust my lifestyle and my fitness regime so that I no longer endure such pain. I can't run anymore, which sucks because I ran competitively for multiple years. I can't squat or endure any weight-bearing resistance exercise for the lower body (e.g. squats, deadlifts, lunges, leg press, etc.). Even some body weight exercises like glute bridges or glute kickbacks can hurt like hell. I can't really play any mobile sport and hell even sex or sitting is starting to become painful.

However, I have recently discovered one final option which might allow me fix my ailment and resume previous activity. A gentlemen I know through work spoke very highly of an Indian doctor based in Shreveport. The surgeon's name is Dr. Cambize Shahrdar and he is nationally renowned for a procedure he has perfected called a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing. I believe he might have studied under the Los Angeles surgeon I alluded to earlier.

I might try to schedule a consultation with him during the next few weeks to seem if I am a candidate for the procedure. The guy is supposed to be a miracle worker so I keeping my fingers crossed.

For your sake, I hope you are not experiencing the same problem I have. Maybe it's something akin to the snapping hip syndrome someone else mentioned. I admittedly thought I snapping triceps syndrome until I discovered it was something nerve-related and consequently worse.
