Avatar f tn Well for me, having had three knee surgeries, what helped most was walking as far as i could on a treadmill at about 3mph everyday for a few weeks, then I started walking with a five pound weight in each hand for two weeks before Istarted trying to jog on a treadmill. Then did I few extension and flexing exercises, as well as hip exercises, and now im able to run, took about a year to get results, Iknow its frustrating but hang in there and keep at it.
Avatar m tn I read somewhere that physical therapy or doing my own back strengthening exercises is helpful. I just want to have a good night sleep without the constant throbbing, aching pain. This is the 20th century and I feel so barbaric. I know there are people out there with chronic pain, and that they know how to manage it or get rid of it with or without surgery. Does anyone have any advise for me. Sleepless in misery, Missouri.
Avatar n tn Rest, ice packs, anti-inflammatories and strengthening exercises are used in treating this condition. Consult a orthopedician for further assistance. Best.
Avatar m tn I tried eliptical after two weeks off and at the end of the work week I was back to severe pain. I am working on strengthening my glutes and hip abductors. Strangely enough ice seems to make it immediately worse. So my cardio has to stop if I am going to keep my job. I have good insurance but good doctors often seem to fall short of helping me with several problems. Ibam a 40 year old male. I have not smoked in 5 years. I seldom drink. I weigh 178 and am 5'9".
Avatar m tn I have been suffering from chronic hip pain for about 8 months. I had THR surgery of my right hip on 1-15-08. I seemed to be recovering at a normal pace until December of 2008. I started experiencing pain in the soft tissue of my right hip. I returned to my orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis. Xrays confirmed the hip was good, to be sure a bone scan was ordered, it also showed that everything appeared normal.
Avatar n tn Another thing you can do is start physical therapy. Strengthening the muscles and tendons around the joints helps to slow the degenerative changes.

Avatar f tn it feels deep within you cheek ....you may have injured/pulled this muscle ...did a physio give you hip strengthening exercises before/ after the op? I would speak to a doc to rule out any major probs and or get some advice about exercise or stretches for that muscle...
Avatar f tn Thanks! And what cardio exercises help in burning hip fat? Majority of my body fat is concentrated in my lower half body ....
Avatar n tn Swimming/Water Aerobics, stationary bike, walking, Core strengthening exercises will not only tone up your stomach muscles but can also help to relieve back pain. Strong abs help support the back during any lifting or bending activities as well as walking. The plank exercise will strengthen the abs as well as your shoulders, chest and even make you sweat if you hold it long enough or add some lifting arm movements. Have you considered taking a Yoga class?
Avatar m tn You can search the web and find thousands of sites that have core strengthening exercises which are meant to do the same thing -- strengthen the abdominals and deep muscles around the spine, and stretch the muscles of the back and hips. But people in pain may need some guidance, which is where a physiotherapist comes in. Ask your doctor if physical therapy would help your condition on your next visit. Best wishes.
1473750 tn?1286973102 s really important that you keep up with some kind of strengthening exercise with your hips - range of motion exercises, simple leg lifts with a 1 or 2 lb ankle weight, also core strengthening exercises to support your lower back. Be conscious of how you walk, sit, stand - I tend to let my left foot turn in if I'm not paying attention. Definitely get a second opinion - I don't think you should be in this much pain 3 years after surgery. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Management may include bed rest, pain and anti-inflammatory medication, weight loss, physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises etc.; or interventional or surgical procedures in severe cases. You may like to discuss these in detail with her doctor. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn You should consult a Physical therapist to manage the pain and muscle strengthening exercises along with the therapy will help you.You need not go for a MRI ,instead focus on reducing weight so that your knees can bear the weight.
Avatar f tn s say my water breaks in March.
3112530 tn?1434032033 While milder forms of pyriformis syndrome can be managed by conservative measures such as stretching exercises, muscle strengthening, anti-inflammatory/ pain medications; severer forms may require steroid/ anesthetic shots. Prognosis is generally good and nerve destruction procedures are seldom used. I would suggest consulting an orthopedician for a detailed evaluation and suggestion of an appropriate management plan. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar m tn I would recommend seeing a physiotherapist and working on stretching and strengthening exercises with them.
Avatar f tn During her first game yesterday she began limping and brushed it off as a sore hip. By the third game she was barely able to move her right leg and the coach finally pulled her. She had a difficult time getting up and down the steps last night and is still very sore today. We began icing it last night after assuming it was a hip flexor pull. Is this a serious injury? Can she heal from this and what is the recovery time? What are the best exercises to get her back in shape.
Avatar m tn s have said muscles around her knee joint needed strengthening and she has been going to physical therapy. the 1st therapist she went to said the range of motion in her hip/knee was minimal and had her do a stretching routine. I decided not to continue with the therapy since she could do these stretches at home. To my regret she didn't continue with the stretches and about a year later her knee/hip pain worsened. X-ray's were taken. Radioligist and orthopedic said x-ray looked fine.
Avatar m tn When you first have pain you have to slow down, rest, then start range of movement exercises and stretching, and then move on to strengthening exercises after the pain eases. This is basic physical therapy. This has been going on for awhile, so I'd think it's time to see your doc and then get referred to physical therapy. What they will have you do depends on what's going on, so an MRI might be ordered for you.
Avatar m tn My question is whether anyone can tell me if osteoarthritis in the lower spine can cause grabbing, debilitating pain that causes the patient to cry out it is so severe. These pains act like pinched nerves, but MRS and Neurological testing shows no nerve damage from the spine. The regular arthritis pain increases gradually when the patient is walking and prevents walking altogether after about 15 yards. The grabbing pain is additional to the regular pain. The only relief for the pain is sitting.
Avatar f tn What helped me with the pain is strengthening exercises of the muscles around the spine. You have to be careful to keep your back straight when doing exercises and start out slow. I found out that it helps me to keep my back straight and the pain and nausea went away. I also take omega fish oil and found that that helps with the pain.
1388332 tn?1285346447 Weight resistance and muscle building exercises can really help reduce hip pain from osteoarthritis. If you do a lot of walking or running or even aerobics, that puts quite a pounding on your hip joints. Add some weightlifting exercises for a few weeks and see what happens. Perfect form is essential so if you're new to weights, get some help in the form of a trainer for a couple sessions or even a book. "Weightlifting for Dummies" is an outstanding easy-to-read resource.
Avatar f tn maybe a car accident, or you hit your hip on a sharp, hard corner or you fell on your hip... it is inflammation of the fluid-filled sac (bursa) that lies between a tendon and skin, or between a tendon and bone... so RA or osteoarthritis can increase your risk of development... I had it on my leg after a car accident and after physical therapy for it I finally got through it... the bursa was absorbed by my body is what the doctor told me... it hurt like fire burns!
15502615 tn?1440995053 I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis when I was very young and needed a hip replacement when I was 28 years old. This was in 1974 and the hip joints were relatively new and wouldn't have lasted long. Therefore, my Doctor had me put off the surgery as long as I could stand the pain. I was able to put it off another 7 years until 1981.
Avatar f tn You also need to stretch the lower back extensors to decrease spasms. Try trunk elongation exercises to prevent progression of the curve. Consult a physical therapist for them to teach these simple exercises. Avoid asymmetric postures such as sitting only on one side and standing on one leg. Correct faulty postures specially sway back. Try practicing proper body mechanics such as the correct way of getting up from the bed, and the proper way to lift and carry an object.
358486 tn?1294776388 Through several small incisions (about 1 centimeter each) the surgeon will insert a camera into one incision, and small instruments through the other incisions.. The nice part about hip arthroscopy is that it is much less invasive than traditional hip surgery. This provides several advantages including faster recovery, earlier rehab, outpatient surgery, less pain, smaller scars, and quicker return to full activity.
Avatar f tn Lateral lunges, front lunges, half squats, leg press, lateral step ups, knee extension (90-40 degrees), hamstring curls, hip adduction and abduction, hip flexion and extension, toe raises, try all of these under an instructor. I would suggest you to apply ice packs regularly to decrease the pain and inflammation and take intermittent pain killers and go for an MRI and also a second opinion. Take care!
