[pct-l] Bad hip

[Ann Urick]

Has anyone out there had experience with a bad hip. Mine went out about a
> month ago

May I suggest you try e-cises listed in the Pain Free book by Egoscue?  It 
may be a matter of everything out of alignment and these exercises will help 
you.  You can try online too for some exercises.  They really helped me with 
back and ankle problems.  www.egoscue.com.   I think that is the website. 
They also have clinics around the country if you are close enough to have an 
evaluation.
