F 27 I’ve had this issue for more than a month. Sharp pain in my left hip and knee. The hip part feels close to my lower back, almost like it’s in the socket. It seemed to be getting better, but today it just got worse again. I’ve got an appointment with my primary care doctor in a month ( the earliest I can be seen ), but I don’t want to wait that long.

I thought about seeing a chiropractor, since years ago one helped me with back and neck pain after an accident, but I’m afraid if being injured.

I’ve never been good with doctors and don’t have much money. I’m on Obama care in FL.

Any advice or kind words? Thanks for reading 😔😌❤️

    What is your lifestyle like at the moment? Do you do a lot of sitting? Not a lot of movement, exercise, etc? Are you under a lot of stress or do you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks? Have the weather been particularly nasty where you are? (This is starting to sound like a start of an infomercial, sorry! 😅 )

    I led a sedentary life style for a long time, especially during the pandemic. I was getting random aches and pains in my hip joints, in my legs, my arms. But since I’ve started practicing yoga (at home, only), and also started treatment for my anxiety disorder, they have been a rare occurrence.

    I don’t know what your situation is like, but I really hope you can find some relief! I know how scary it can be to feel these pains and have no idea what’s wrong. I hope you can find the strength to keep away from that doom spiral though. The anxiety and the stress from that is more likely to make things worse. If you do want to try the yoga route, or interested in a youtube channel recommendation, I’ve found Yoga with Adriene incredibly helpful for me.

      Oh I love yoga with Adrienne! I just started doing stretches and basic yoga again in hopes of it helping. I also used my massage gun. I work a very physical job, but I’m not very good at exercising outside of work 😅 thank you for this, I really appreciate it 🙏 you sound a lot like me, lol
