It's been bad for about 6 months but I've mostly ignored it, because with the exception of that specific movement it only hurts when I do a lot of hill climbing, or when I ride horses without stirrups. Last night I went to my first cross fit class though, and the v-lifts hurt since of course that is the exact movement that irritates it.
I wonder if there's PT at home I could do to treat it. It's been sticking around for a while. I tried a week of rest once or twice and that didn't fix it so I decided ignoring it was my best option....
I have read the other responses here and I will +3 (2? I lost count) PT. You are definitely showing signs of a muscle imbalance that needs to be addressed. It could even be "dumb butt syndrome", it's kind of an epidemic really.
