I'm not a hip doctor, nor do I play one on TV but as someone who has a few more years on me and has had a nagging hip make itself known a few times here are a few tips from my own journey: 1. yin yoga - this is an amazing practice as we age. Paul Grilley wrote the book and (like everything) you can find a lot of information, classes, sequences online. Yin works your connective tissue and doesn't engage your muscles and has you in seemingly simple shapes that are held for a long time. It works from the center out and hips and the back are the most immediately areas that benefit from this practice. Just doing one of the simple hip postures once or twice a day should have a big impact. This easy practice totally helps keep and restore the fluid and connective tissue that allows us to move. 2. Keep walking it may seem counter-intuitive but the movement is amazingly helpful 3. Talk to your MD but know that my own hip situation was mis-diagnosed at first and what I was told would be a chronic situation has been dealt with an no longer plagues me.
Again, thanks for the posts and all you, Wilco and your family do for this community. Sorry I won't be at the shows with that long-time friend of mine Phil that you and Nels are doing - I'm sure it will be joyful.
Jeff, honey, make an orthopedic appt to have your hips x-rayed and reviewed.
You may have arthritis and experiencing bone-on-bone pain cause the joint is worn out. I'm recovering from my 2nd hip replacement -- 2 weeks out from surgery. The best part is not having the pain that I lived with for so long.
