Back slide: I had a hip replacement in early December. The ball and socket were essentially flat. So the left side is doing great but now the pain in my right aiside is just crazy. Muscle spasms, hip flexor madness and just deep aches. I suspect it’s from having to relearn walking and sitting after 8 years of walking incorrectly with the bad left hip. Planning to try a chiropractor next week in hopes of finding/correcting the issue. My sympathies to all with back pain and sciatica.
Continued back slide...
Yes, I think a chiropractor or a hands-on PT specialist would be helpful. I think that the PT I’m seeing has a lot of extra training, she’s not at the minimum level of PT like the first guy I saw was. He was by the book, very young and inexperienced, and not very intuitive. She’s a step above as she applies what you tell her, asks the right questions, and knows her way around the muscles and tendons in the core.
Someone like that will be able to help you, I’m sure.
