Hip pain

In the last 2 days, I have been beset by hip pain in the right hip. It
is most acute when I try to walk, so I have to walk slowly and
awkwardly. Another example, if I drive for a while, getting out of the
truck and walking after that is very painful. Could it be that I
pulled some muscle. I did handle some engines on carts, and may have
lifted them from some bad position to get the cart over a small
threshold, though I do not recall any problems at the time when I may
have lifted them. I would say the lifts were 200 lbs lifted by 1" or
so. Do you recognize this as something you have encountered before. Thanks.

Hey ig,
The key to health is:
Every time you get the urge to exercise, lay down until the urge passes.


Your problem: could be a zillion things.
I have found myself w/ odd piercing joint pain, that disappears after the
appropriate "clicks & pops" occur--iow, sumpn was out of whack. The trick
is, if it's an out-of-whack problem, how do you put it back?

Some people have an ability to "crack" many of their joints, for sometimes
instant relief. I can occasionally employ this, but it's almost impossible
to explain how to do.
Chiropractors can do this as well.
I can only say experiment w/ gently twisting/shifting motions, including leg
crossings while seated--this one works for me once in a while.
If you know how to crack your knees (stiff legged, short sharp twists), this
can get the hip as well.
The actual motions for re-setting a cocked joint can be very subtle, as
well.
Also, try *deep deep*--ie, ass-on-the-floor-- kneebends/squats, perhaps w/
the help of a bar (HoloBarre, per chance--awww sheeit, they're STILL not
ready!!!), or pole, couch, whatever.

Hanging by your hands, w/ various twisting, knee-lifts, etc. might help.
Inversion can work miracles, for the knees and hips, in addition to the
back.
Sam's club/costco occasionally have the teeter-totter type passive inverters
for $139 or so. I got one. Decent. An item that can be *extraordinarily*
useful for some people.

I myself get much better results inverting via an overhead motorized winch,
on, you guessed it, a HB.
Trick is holding the feet. Various "gravity boots" are available, the
cheapies I got wholesale actually a bit better for this app than the full
blown Spyder brand.
And not so cheap--$50, way overpriced,imo. The Spyders are proly $150 by
now.

Or, there might be some real damage, req'g xrays, etc.

I think everyone should be taking Glucosamine, chondroitin, msm, HA.
Puritan pride has the first three in one tablet, mebbe someone as all 4
together. Cheap enough, now, now that the brouhaha is finally over.
