F 27 I’ve had this issue for more than a month. Sharp pain in my left hip and knee. The hip part feels close to my lower back, almost like it’s in the socket. It seemed to be getting better, but today it just got worse again. I’ve got an appointment with my primary care doctor in a month ( the earliest I can be seen ), but I don’t want to wait that long.

I thought about seeing a chiropractor, since years ago one helped me with back and neck pain after an accident, but I’m afraid if being injured.

I’ve never been good with doctors and don’t have much money. I’m on Obama care in FL.

Any advice or kind words? Thanks for reading 😔😌❤️

    After a couple physical therapists and a chiro confirmed my hip and knee were fine an osteopath found it in the IT Band “Iliotibial Band Syndrome”. Likely the result of my dominant leg overcompensating for the weakness on the other side. I would only feel relief if I did a deep tissue push between L4 and my kidney on that side.

    The treatment plan was stretching the psoas muscle, favoring the other leg for a while, and working on core strength. It can still happen but I can take care of it in a few days now rather than months.
