Will you look into my eyes, can you tell me what you see?
Warning: The whole of this entry is about my hip pain, if you wish not to hear about it, then check back when I post something about mythological creatures or my hopes and dreams.
I'm finally becoming a moderate amount of concerned about my hip. The pain has been getting worse and WAY more frequent, and when it's not really hurting (rare), it's stiff and doesn't do its job. I walk with a limp almost 100 percent of the time now, and it's affecting the rest of my lower body. My other leg hurts after a long day at work, and my feet hurt from the way I walk on them to compensate for the pain in my hip.
I also have a screwed up knee on the SAME leg as the screwed up hip, so on a bad day... WOW, the pain is just awful. There are certain ways I can sit that don't hurt my hip, but they hurt my knee, and vice versa. Fun!
The problem with hip issues is that the hip is such a primary joint with basically all movements. It affects the way I walk, sit, drive, stand, get up, sit down (the action), and bend. Getting in and out of my car is my least favorite part of my day, it's so awkward and painful. I love my high-top Converses, but it takes me SO long to put them on because of my inability to bend.
To sum up, my hip is affecting every normal part of my day for the worse. I have no choice but to tough it out though. Until I can get health insurance (which takes WAY too long at my current job), I'll be limping every time you see me.
The good part: When this issue is fixed, my tolerance for pain is going to be so high. (It's being pushed every day.)
Mmkay.
