Re: Continued hip pain and MRI results.
I too have had hip pain along with other joint pains. I find deep tissue massage for trigger points is what works best for me. I also try to be very aware of my posture. Habitual bad habits are often the case of many problems, along with inactivity. It is hard to go through treatment and continue to be active but take heart and keep plodding. As Winston Churchill said, "If you are going through hell, keep going." I have found there are good times and bad times for my pain and hold to the belief that things can only get better when they are bad.
