I walked up a hill and hurt my hip a bit. Then I got excited and jumped around dancing later that night, and BAM. Hip has hurt for 4 days now (as in, hobble-walking), and considering my track record, will now hurt just slightly until I die and doctors will have no fucking idea why.
I’ve definitely been doing a lot of those things since it happened. Much shuffling, tarrying, and slowing down. I just started back on working out today, but nothing with my hip. 😩
In my experience, persistent joint pain can be mitigated by working the muscles that pad that joint.
Consider doing some yoga or basic tai-chi that will stretch the region that is in pain. As you move through forms and poses you will figure out which muscle or muscle group needs to be strengthened and you will find movements that work it.
I’ve got some gnarly arthritis so my joints are always inflamed. Yoga helps me to keep the muscles strong enough to power through the inflammation without pain, though with arthritis it always hurts a little 🥲
Thanks for the advice. I actually do yoga and am permanently doing Physical Therapy for my other hip (since doctors said there’s nothing physically wrong with it), so I guess I’ll just keep at it. I also have to remember to actually rest the area when it’s so injured that I’m limping… 😅

Doctors rarely have a clue about the why of anything. They respond to trigger words, fill out paperwork, and send you on your merry way.
I won’t even go for this, even if it continues to hurt, because I’ve learned this lesson.
Just do the dance in reverse
Unfortunately, it was a jump, so I think a reverse jump is just a jump, right?

I think that’s normal for someone aged 60+
Or American and 36+ 😭
