Great advice. I am having some hip pain. I had a ruputed disk in my lower back some years ago. It's nice to know it could be related.

Man, I just turned 31. I had a baby 10 months ago. I carry him a lot. I wake up in pain every day. I can’t walk for long periods of time. This is not what I want for myself at this stage in life. Everybody please take care of yourselves and don’t take your body for granted. You could wake up and not be the same as yesterday 🥺

Guys, checked out your vid two weeks ago. Hip been sore for 5 years, been told everything from, muscles, laziness, back issues to bursitis. Discovered on friday was a life threatening blood clot in pelvis - surgery tomorrow. Lucky I didn’t keep googling and went to hospital.

Thanks, Bob and Brad. Good job in short time. I'm 70 yrs old and a lifelong runner, former world-class. I've been training to break the 5K world record for my age. I'm smart and don't overdo it. Everything was going just fine, and I was running/training from 3 miles to 6 miles, sometimes more, three days on and one day off. Then, I got out of bed one morning a month ago and had pain above my hip, sore to the touch. It just came out of nowhere. I've had x-rays and an MRI, but everything appears ok. The docs think it may be bursitis. My running was going fine - no pain anywhere, no pulls, etc. It's getting me down.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful, now I can better explain my pain when I see my doctor. Keep up the good work!

Thanks to you both. This was very instructional. I fractured my 3rd Lumbar Vertebra in 2014 and have a lot of referred pain on my right hip. On top of that the right hip isn't in the fullness of youth anyway so that's a bit of a double whammy. I have a lot of trouble straightening up after sitting down for than 10 minutes and I tend to hobble until the whole shebang re-aligns itself, so to speak.

i turned 21 and about a week later i had a herniation corrected in the L4 and L5. i’ve not been able to walk again normally, and now it causes me extreme pain in my hips. Watching this video i’m realizing i have arthritis in my hips. i’m 25 now.

Im a 30 year RN, 59 years old, recent onset of hip pain. Noticed most when I have to walk up steps that are a higher rise than normal steps, lifting my weight on that leg/hip. I think you helped me decide its bursitis, will treat with ice, thanks so much!

Great stuff gents, making me see thing abit clearer for my wife hip pain, she has hip pain for three months and has been taking pain killer ever since and the doctor said all blood test and X-ray came back normal and only suggested to see physiotherapist regularly. I think her hip pain may related to back rather than hip. Thank you for a great video 👍
