I have  hip trauma that effects my back. I'd like to find a doctor who could offer a proper help to have my hip back to its place and stop it loading pressure on my lower back. I heard that light yoga exercises have great positive effects in cases like this. Any one knows a doctos/s in UK or even outside it who would deal with sport traumas?

There is the England football team's Sports Centre which deals with sports injuries.\nContrary to what you might think, it is not expensive.\nIt is based at Lilleshall, Shropshire, England.\nIt should be on the net.\nIf this fails, telephone Burton Albion Football Club in Burton-upon Trent, Staffordshire.\nThey might even ask you over on a reciprocal agreement basis.\nWorth a try!

Your surgeon knows best.  I suggest that you follow your discharge plan of care, to maximize healing.  Stay on a low salt diet to prevent edema (swelling). Do the physical therapy outlined on the physicans discharge sheet (when allowed).  Keep the follow up appointments. Communicate questions and concerns to the staff at the surgeons office phone number.  I wish you a speedy recovery. Murphy

Recovery or partial recovery of movement is possible.  Consult a Physiatrist (not a psychiatrist).  This specialist works with the physical movements of the body.

Go to a sports Dr (sounds weird but is not) They get joint pain better than most ortho's.  If you don't live in a major city at least get 2nd opinion.  Dr's tend to slough off pain especially from women because, well don't get me going there. If you're in pain, somethings wrong. I've had major ortho surgery 5 times and know when it works and when it doesn't

I have mild scoliosis along with a herniated disc in my lower back.  I've only had one bout of very severe pain and it lasted about 4 months.  It was so bad it kept me awake at night and I walked with a limp and I thought I was going to have to have surgery but I really wanted to avoid that.  I went to a chiropractor and he did help the limp but the pain only got worse.  What finally helped me get rid of the pain was when my doctor prescribed a round of Prednisone to help with the inflammation.  It finally eased the pain enough that I could get some sleep.  After I finished the Prednisone and was enough better that I could at least function, he sent me to a Physical Therapist to learn some helpful exercises.  I had to do them every day but the improvement in the pain was definitely enough to keep me doing the exercises.  The next step for me was weigh loss. I lost 115 pounds and started doing all kinds of different exercises from aerobics, to running, to weight lifting.  I have been completely pain free for over almost a year and a half now and I managed to avoid surgery.  Good luck with your pain, I know it's excruciating and miserable to have to live with back pain.  I hope you get it resovled soon.

I fractured my right iliac crest growth plate (growth plate on the hip) this January from too much running. I do winter and spring track, and I hurdled too much and the oblique muscles in my stomach just pulled the growth plate away from the actual crest until it fractured. I thought it was kind of weird too, because I'm only 15, but my athletic trainer said it was a common injury among hurdlers. \n\nDuring the time that I wasn't allowed to run, I would go bike in the weight room (no ellipticals; they stress hips because you're putting weight on it vertically, bikes don't because you are sitting) for a workout everyday. Near the end of the healing, I started doing side leg lifts and ball exercises to strengthen my hip so it wouldn't fracture again. When I got back during the beginning of spring track from my 6 weeks prescribed rest to heal the fracture (no cast or anything, I was lucky), I began to run long runs, 30 min to an hour on grass and soft surfaces. I was raring to go then, and I felt pretty good. It hurt a little because I had lost some range of motion, but with continuous stretching I was able to start working out with the team. I also started hurdling and long and triple jumping again. \n\nI guess I overworked it a bit though, because after 2 or 3 weeks of hurdling and jumping it started hurting a lot. My jumping coach took me off of triple jumping and switched my lead leg on long jumping, but I kept on hurdling normally. The hip bothered me a little all throughout the rest of the season, but I was still able to end the season with a 1st place at the freshman champs. This summer, I ran a lot and tried to strengthen my hips more. Winter track is starting next week, and I hope nothing happens that will stop my hurdling career. \n\nYou should run, but be very attune with your body and stop whenever you feel that something hurts. Then, hit the weight room. If you have an athletic trainer at your school, you could ask him to help warm it up before workouts or meets by using heat pads or with electrolysis (a machine passes currents through your body; it helps warm up muslces). Hopefully, that will help your running.\n\nGood luck with running!

Hi there, ive got Cerebral Palsy and had so much pain in my hip i was thinking of going into a wheelchair permenantly as walking and standing was so painful. Acupuncture was my last resort, i have to admit i was sceptical, and really not keen on the idea of needles. I approached my physio who had recently qualified to do it, we've known each other about 9 years and she has a great reputation. I have to say trust is really important, so do stick with the same person. I had a few treatments before i felt the benefit, but believe me, it really worked! I have had no problems since. Give it a good chance. Hope this helps xxxx

Please go and see a physio they will firstly listen to the cause of injury then massage area with a clear gell substance and a heated wand this is very relaxing and loosens those torn and inflamed muscles and tendons this goes on for about 20 - 30 minutes then they will gently click your spine back inplace.\n\nYou will feel like your back to normal when you walk out of the physio but you will have to take it easy and go back for the very same treatment, it is comfortable, relaxation, and painfree and there is no risk they are professionals and will tell what to do and what not to do.  All the very Best.\n\nSome physio's bulk-bill others you have to pay but can get some money back from medicare, or personal health care agent and health care card.

i have never had this problem but i do know that the sooner you see a physiotherapist the better chance you have of everything returning to normal.  sometimes light, controlled exercise is better than doing nothing and letting the muscles waste further.  other times need complete rest.  i really do think you should phone a physiotherapist and get advice as soon as you can.  hope you feel better soon.

As in, it hurts to extend it, or the range of motion just stops?\n\nIs this a recent thing?  Did you injure it in the last year or so?\n\nFrom just this, there's no way to determine the cause.  What I can tell you though, is that there are lots of things you can do to fix this sort of thing.  If you are on your feet quite a bit, this will eventually move your pelvis (and consequently your back) out of whack, so it shouldn't just be left alone.\n\nSee your doctor.  They will know what to do.

Ask your doctor to look at whether you have Bursitis. I had my bursa removed, and the pain in my hip is gone!.

I hurt my back and hip mountain biking 6 years ago\nit was doing much better but last month it went out on me again (I slipped while shovelling, not a good combo)\nI was in bed for 3 days and people had to help me up to go to the bathroom but now I am back to exercising and feeling great\nit really as made me appreciate how important it is to exercise and stretch to keep mobile and healthy\nI know lots of people that give up doing things because they have been hurt (and now live with constant pain) but I think it is important to try to do as much as possible and stay active and healthy, don't give up

This is a good thing. If you remember when you had you last physical the doctor should have done the same thing with a mallet. This is a normal response for a healthy person.

most doctors recommend physical therapy before surgery to see if rehab will fix it,  it also helps if you happen to need surgery in the recovery afterward.  talk to your ortho doctor about what the athletic trainer said and about your risks about blowing out your knee

General Information\nThe hip is the largest joint in the body and one of its most stable. Due to this stability, the hip is rarely a source of problems while growing up (except for developmental problems such as DDH). Problems during the growing years occur following major injuries such as car accidents or falls from heights. In later years, the hip is one of the primary locations for arthritis, which often results in total hip replacement. \n\nThe hip is a ball and socket joint similar to the shoulder. The femoral head forms a ball that sits deep within the socket know as the acetabulum. The acetabulum is a part of the pelvis and in normal circumstances covers more than one-half of the femoral head. The joint is stabilized not only by the bony architecture but also by a series of stout ligaments, the muscles that cross the joint, and a labrum that is connected to the rim of the acetabulum. \n\nAside from arthritis, hip problems occur as a result of muscle strains, hip bursitis, and tears of the labrum. Muscle strains (groin pulls) are often debilitating and require lengthy rehab time only to recur regularly. Hip bursitis is the inflammation within a bursa on the outside or lateral aspect of the hip. This is often associated with patellofemoral problems (kneecap), and both are caused by a tight iliotibial band (ITB). Stretching and rest usually are sufficient to resolve the discomfort. \n\nLabral tears are increasingly being diagnosed. Physical exam techniques and the improvement in MRI techniques have helped to diagnose this problem. Once diagnosed, if it is symptomatic enough, surgical repair or excision through an arthroscopic procedure is often necessary.\n\nOrthopaedic Injuries\n\nLabral Tear\nThe labrum of the hip is the fibrous cartilage (similar to the meniscus in the knee) that runs around the bony rim of the acetablum (the hip socket). The labrum deepens the socket adding stability to the hip joint as well as cushioning the joint itself. \n\nCauses\nThe cause of a labral tear may be degenerative or traumatic. Degenerative tears occur after years of repetitive minor injuries and are usually associated with arthritis of the hip. Traumatic injuries can occur with any sporting activity that causes rapid hip motion especially associated with sudden stops and turns on the field, mats, or court. Occasionally, a traumatic injury that causes a labral tear is somewhat trivial and is forgotten by the time of the diagnosis. \n\nSymptoms\n\nPain (usually located on the inner hip, or groin area) \nA “catching” sensation within the joint \nLittle-to-no-pain during normal daily activities \nFrequently Asked Questions\nHip Arthroscopy and Labral Tear\n\nTreatment\nThe treatment of a hip labral tear is symptom driven. Long term sequelae of labral tears is not known though it is assumed they can lead to arthritic progression. \n\nNon-operative\nA course of physical therapy may be initiated along with activity modification.\n\nAlternative Treatment Options\n\nGlucosamine \nHyaluronic Acid \nNon-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Medications (NSAIDs) \nOperative\nA surgical repair or excision through an arthroscopic procedure is the usual intervention for this orthopaedic injury when symptoms do not allow a continuation of desired athletic activities. The procedure is done on an out-patient basis and full recovery normally occurs by eight to 12 weeks.\n\nWhen I researched labral tears causing osteoarthritis, it sounds more like osteoarthritis can cause labral tears.  See the second link....actually the third link might support your position.....

another good thing to do is to check in with a certain doctor (i am not sure what the name is ) but they make orthodics which are shoe inserts made for u so that they can help your stance, my legs and feet always hurt until i got custom orthodics, so along with the stretching and yoga this will help
