text: Before you do surgery, try a chiropractor or massage therapist.  The chiropractor may find that your spine is out of alignment, which is putting strain on the hip.  Or a massage therapist may discover that the muscles are in spasm, or have trigger points, which they can help you with.  I have a bad hip from when I was pregnant, and both have helped me.  Also, both a chiropractor and a massge therapist can give you stretches to help prevent it from happening again, or at least not as much.\n\nBlessed be\n\ngypsy
