I am 59 and have had mild hip paid for 20
years if involved in exercise that
produces pounding on my hip joint (racket
ball, tennis, etc.). I gave them up and
only occasionally had hip pain if I jogged
several consecutive days.
Recently, I was cleaning the office,
carrying 20-30 heavy boxes down stairs and
the following day my hip pain was the
worst it has even been. I could hardly
walk. I following by helping a daughter
move the next weekend. Since then (a week
or so) I have been taking it easy - no
lifting, few stairs. This hip has gotten
a little better but still hurts. It
doesn't hurt much when I walk but I cannot
sleep on the side where the paid occurs
and when sitting there is pain.
Any ideas as to the cause and if
acupuncture could help.
