We understand how worrying hip pain can be when you’re going through it… Especially when you feel as though it’s stopping you from walking as far as you once could.
In extreme cases, it might stop you from doing the things you enjoy, cause trouble with putting socks on, make getting in and out of cars painful and even threaten your independence.
Many people we meet with hip pain were told by their doctor that it is “to be expected” at their age, or that “everyone suffers from arthritis“. Maybe you were told this too? And maybe you’re worried about where it’s come from or worried that it’s going to get worse?
Your hip pain developed out of the blue. Maybe you woke up with a nagging pain in your groin, or maybe you jarred it once and it’s been painful ever since.
You hoped it would go away on it’s own… but it hasn’t.
Before long, you’ve been worrying about it for months… and it’s only getting worse!
A lot of people with hip pain go to their doctor for some advice. Unfortunately, 90% of these people are told to “just rest it” and “take some pain killers”…
