Hello everybody , and best of luck and good health to all fellow sufferers.
Please excuse me , new to the forum and first post . I am retired67 male active ( apart from this bloody hip) not seen doc as yet but avoiding during latest crisis , so my post is a shot in the dark.
Have had left hip pain for ? 2 years maybe which has got steadily worse, I,e could run no problem and play sport ( football mainly ) weekly and was pleased I was able to participate, always kept fit far from overweight ( skinny) luckily , but now finding it almost impossible to run after 5 minutes , funnily can run backwards ok , don’t know if that’s any pointer, I try and do suggested stretching but get severe ache afterwards , so my footy which I love has gone out of the window.
I can’t help thinking if I was more supple around the hip ( the other hip is absolutely fine ) I could manage a short run , but lately it’s far too painful.
Questions really , am I kidding myself it ain’t bone problem , should I stop exercising, what is best pain relief ( do RICE post exercise ) any tips on how to stretch pain free.
I can walk with medium pain , walk short distance hardly painful, stairs fine , stepping off high step tricky , sleep fine but with slight ache sometimes .
Please I would appreciate others opinion on their experience.
Cheers everyone and good luck
