Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I realize seeking advice about health issues on internet boards is not the best way to get good medical advice but I am interested in others experiences as it pertains to hip pain.
About two months ago I was running bases playing whiffle ball with the grandkids. Later on that evening my left hip started to hurt. The next day I could hardly get out of bed due to the pain that hurt not only in the hip but also radiated down my thigh and to my knee. Fast forward, two chiropractor visits and two GP visits later I am still hobbling around with hip pain. I am fine sitting or laying down but when I walk or stand still, it hurts. My chiropractor thinks it is some soft tissue damage and recommended alternating ice and heat, which I have done, which hasn't really helped. My GP is thinking a possible sciatica issue and prescribed some prednisone which did nothing.
I'm a fairly active 65 year old, play a lot of golf and walk regularly 5-7 miles per day. This past week I have decided to give up walking and stay away from golf for at least two weeks to see if this helps. If it doesn't my GP suggested an MRI to se what is going on.
Just curious if any others have experienced this type of problem and what they have done.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
