###Human: I am just 14 years old and I experience extreme pain in my hip. What could it be? ###Assistant: Hi. My worry here is that you may have a Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) and you need an urgent orthopedic opinion to help rule this out. The reason I say so is that the pain and limp from the hip in an adolescent has only a few causes one of which is SCFE. The other cause is an infection and it is equally important. I hope you ask your parents to arrange a visit to an orthopaedician for physical examination at the earliest. This will certainly help, as a full examination of the hip and x-rays and blood reports will help clear any doubts.
