Hi there,
I have pain in my right hip area that is progressively getting worse.
I teach 2x's per week, a vinyasa style that challenges most folks. I am known for
doing lots of hip openers and I consider myself fairly flexible. I've been told by some that I'm abnormally flexible. If I could pin-point the pain, I
would say it's dead center in the middle between pubic bone and hip bone, and right in the middle of everything. Like, not groin, or glute. I thought it
might be an SI joint thing, but from what I've read, that should be effecting my back, and it's only in this one spot. It does not radiate up, or down.
I thought my periformis (sp) muscle, but I don't know what to make of that, and most advice says to do hip openers, but that is what hurts me. At first is
was just lotus, or pigeon, or pain at the end of a class, but now it's in sukasana in the beginning, and even just sitting at my desk. I tried to meditate
a few mintues ago with hips elevated, but it was too painful. Here's the deal-I don't know what this is! If I had some ideas, then I could begin to
heal myself. I keep reading around, but to no avail.
If this helps, this started a few months ago as a painful "crick" in my neck (right side), then it moved to my low back (hurt to twist at all, again,
right side) and now all that is gone and the pain is in the hip. I had been thinking the pain is all related, but I'm not sure.
If I were going to go by Deb Shapiro's book, "The Body Speaks the Mind", then I'd be facing some stuff. I've got a big birthday coming up
and I'm a little emotional about my future. She says pain in the hips can symbolize a fear of moving forward with a new part of life. True for me.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
