Hip pain.

[Guest guest]

I had cancer last year and I have been trying to rebuild my body. Since the

chemo I have had pain in my left hip. Today has been very bad, which could also

be the weather since I have osteo arthritis. I have been going to the gym and

doing a very toned down workout trying to get my strength back. Does anyone

have any suggestions for the pain? Or maybe how to rebuild that joint? Thanks,

Hi,

I've used St. John's Wort to reduce or eliminate pain and it works

well. For long-term pain, I'd add hypnosis and self-hypnosis to

establish a relaxed baseline and reverse the depressive side effects of

pain.

 

I'd suggest Tai Chi is increase your mobility. Tai Chi is very gentle

and mild exercise designed to increase flexibility and core muscle

strength.

 

Good Luck,

Jeff

Marsha,

 

I am happy to hear that you are recovering and working to rebuild your body.

More power to you! :-) I have left hip pain due to an old injury and it's

chronic. What has been recommended to me through rehab, by a personal trainer,

and by my physician as well as friends is what is referred to as the Pelvic

Tilt. This is when you lie on your back with your kness bent. You lift your

pelvis off of the floor and hold for 10- 15 second count. And, then repeat

several times. This seems to relieve the pain and even seems to give me some

relief by stretching what feels to be tight in the hip region.

 

Something that I learned from my personal trainer which also has helped me in

the hip region is using one of thos huge exerciae balls. Placing it behind the

back against the wall while standing. Then, bending the knees as if in a

sitting position and holding. Using the ball behind the back and against the

wall is helpful.

 

I hope these suggestions help, or at least make sense. I wish for you a

smooth recovery and continued strength.

Try guggulu or one of guggulu mixes according to your dosha.

Have your groin checked as this may be putting more pressure on the hip, Mike

I have arthritis along with bad muscle pain...had a back injury a

few years back, not much helped the pain for me....a friend of mine

told me about taking coral calcium for her joint and hip pain..I tried

it for a short while, no results....then a couple of years later, she

mentioned it again...and said..you have to give it time to get into

your system....so I tried it again, and was going to give it a month...

well in a little over two weeks, I noticed a subtle change...the pain

was much better....needless to say I take it every day without fail

and I try to take a good marine grade that I get at an online

auction because it's not expensive that way...
