Sharp pain in my hip?!
Question: Sharp pain in my hip?
Ive never had a problem before, but the last few days ill be sitting with my leg either tilted out, crossed, or even bending down and ill get a very sharp pulsing pain in my hip. It feels like its my bone, whether it be grinding or pinching a nerve. Walking normally doesnt hurt.
Ill be sitting on the couch and it just starts intensely pulsing like every few secs for about 20 secs.
I cant afford to go to the dr at the moment. Thats not the answer im looking for. Im wondering if there are exercises or movements that i can do to help my problem. I run around ALOT at work and its effecting me......
im young and im not over weight.
Answers:
Because that pain seems to happen when you move your legs it seems it would be caused by pinched muscles in your lower back that are pressing into the nerves going to your hips to cause the pain in them. When you cross your legs or bend over you would be putting pressure on the nerves to cause that to happen. To get rid of the pain you have to free up your back muscles and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
