Is anyone on here:
A) an orthopedic doctor
Or B) knows one that won't kill me financially just for asking a question?
My collarbone has been popping the past couple days and I NEED to know why and how to fix it bc it hurts and not natural!

I heard and felt an audible pop in my right hip area. Now I am in severe pain. I thought it was my SI joint but now wondering if it is something else. Any ideas? Should I go to my chiropractor tomorrow or my doctor?

It could be a bunch of things. Does your hip sublux? You may have torn muscle, tendon or hip cartilage. Those are injuries that will take a while to heal. I would put ice on it and don't weight bear. Use crutches or a walker or wheelchair till this is sorted out. If you have pain medicine or muscle relaxers it's a good idea to take those too. Here are some good patient info articles for you to read. Read all the hip articles, we often fit into more than one category. I would get it checked out if you can't get it back in place yourself or if you think you have torn something. http://www.eorthopod.com/adult-hip-patient-guides
