    1GreatGran - hopefully someone else can answer that one or you might google it. i believe it is a muscle or a tendon ... i have seen many references to exercises for that....I'll try to find the answer and if I do I'll let you know. (By the way, it was "Pheebs52" that wrote about her IT band -...

    couldnt make the illustration work -- hurts at L2B/V (middle of left cheek - was left hip replaced.) Should mention that pain in butt is not constant but does happen while walking for exercise. Just a few steps (room to room) it doesn't happen. 1 incision - posterior 2 pain - 0 3 meds - I...

    Well I cant get with it today - want to ask another question and cant figure out how I did it .... How does a person find out if they have a very small LLD? My daughter looked at me as I stood with good posture, back to her - she said it looks like my right hip (NON operated) is little lower...
