Hip pain

[KnottedYet]

Stand in good posture.
Take a "snapshot" of how you feel and move.

Bend forward as though you were going to touch your toes, keeping legs pretty straight. (hip flexion and lumbar flexion) Go as far as you get, and do it 10 times.

After you've done 10, stand in good posture again. Take a snapshot. Are you now better, worse, or the same?

If better, do this (hip flex with lumbar flex) 10 times every 2 hours you are awake until you've been symptom free for a week.

If same, do this procedure again once or twice before giving up and going to next step.

If worse, go to next step....


.... Step 2
Stand in good posture.
Take a snapshot of how you feel and move.

Put hands in small of back, bend backwards as far as you go (hip and lumbar extension). Do 10 times.

Stand in good posture. Take a snapshot again.

Are you better, worse, or the same?

If better, do this (standing backbend) 10 times every 2 hours you are awake until you have been symptom free for a week.

If same, do this procedure once or twice more before giving up and going to step 3.

If worse, do step 3....

....Step 3

Run through the same process, only this time the movement you are testing is to put your sore side right hand on your sore side right hip and push your hips off to the left (so you are standing like a banana) 10 times.

Better, worse, or same?

If better, this is the move you do 10 times every 2 hours yadda yadda yadda

If same, try procedure once or twice more. Then if still the same, go to the doc.

If worse, you should really go to a doc.


All you're doing here is seeing if one of 3 basic "reset" moves the body employs normally (usually without you being aware of it) can help your symptoms. If one of them does, then you just have to do it more than normally (10 times every 2 hours) for a while until your body finishes fixing itself. Anything more interesting than can be addressed this basically in a chat thread really should be handled through a doc and in person.
BTW: if step 1 feels better, you do NOT go on to step 2 or step 3!!! If step 2 feels better, you do NOT go on to step 3!!!!
