    THR Severe stiffness where my leg won't hang straight

    Hi Z... thank you for the treadmill advice. I will probably buy one after I quit my wellness program, but for now the good ones I looked at are over $1000.00. I only have to pay $35.00 a month for my wellness program which is only about 3 miles from my house and I enjoy getting out. I'm going to...

    THR Metal, illiopsoas, or both?? My story

    I just read your entire thread and I am praying that things work out for you. I too have iliopsoas problems (way too short) and that muscle causes pain from your back to your abs, down your thigh and in your groin... everywhere. I HATE THAT MUSCLE. Mine is so tight I cannot walk without a cane...

    Thank you everyone.... I had a really bad night... no sleep yet (it's 6:00 am EST). No pain or anything... just can't get my mind to slow down and quit thinking and thinking. Everytime I get up to walk it makes me so mad and sad. I want to be positive but weekends are really really hard for...

    THR Shawnna's Right Hip Recovery

    Hi Shawnna... been reading your thread and glad to hear you are doing pretty good. You just have to be careful not to push to fast (trust me I'm the Queen of Inpatience). One thing I did learn (among the many things) is that you can rub your butt without fear of breaking loose a blood clot...

    THR Severe stiffness where my leg won't hang straight

    Hi Haldox, Janet and Jyoti! So sorry I haven't been around much lately, to be honest I've been a little depressed to post. It seems like no matter what I do I can't loosen up these muscles. My muscles are getting stronger just not looser. If I thought accupuncture would work for me I'd have a...
