TURNS OUT...
Not a hip problem. It's a back problem. Need a pain specialist. Will probably have shot in my spine. Cannot walk straight up. Have to walk bent over to relieve the pain. So miserable I will be gone for a while.
ANY IDEAS???
I WILL TRY THIS...
How to avoid a stooped posture as you age?
Practice straighter posture.
One option: Stand with your head, shoulders, upper back, buttocks, and
heels (if you can) against a wall, and imagine a cord attached to the
top of your head, gently pulling you upward. Hold for 30 seconds, relax,
and repeat three times daily.
Physical therapy is a wonderful thing. I would rather do the physical therapy first and try to avoid surgery. As soon as the surgery (if that's the option) is done you have to do physical therapy and it's far more painful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. ♥
I agree with the previous commenter that physical therapy can do absolute wonders for you, especially if you want to avoid surgery at all costs.
ReplyDeleteI agree -physical therapy? Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteWishing you pain relief from whatever works!
ReplyDeleteI do physical therapy each week. It is sometimes painful but less painful (and cheaper) than surgery.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
If your hips and knees are okay I'd suggest a few minutes of crawling like a baby, or even just in that position, rocking the hips gently side to side. But not if it hurts. The movement helps to relax any muscles that might have tightened against the pain.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, avoid surgery as best as you can.
