Aches & pains

[fbhjr]

The other day I was having a lot of trouble with my left hip, and to some
extent still am today.

My joints have been a problem for me since I was a teenager. Many of them
are fairly stiff and pop frequently. Various doctors over the years have
told me it is arthritis and something I should just accept.
Saturday it was enough that it made it hard to walk, and that is more than
usual. As is often true of my fingers, toes, ankle and knee I was sure it
I could just pop it I would get back to normal. But, popping the hip seems
to take more work than those other joints.

This has happened a few times over the years and has gotten better. I hope
it happening more often is not a trend.

I understand your pain. Your hip "popping" in and out is NOT something you should accept. That should be checked by a specialist.
Hope you feel better.

Not popping in and out. Popping like knuckles. (Cracking?)
It doesn't pop out of joint. It is more of jamming up.
I feel more Ike th tin man without an oil can

That can still indicate water/swelling build up, cartilage break down that should be addressed.

Do you have shellfish allergies? If not, it might be helpful to try the osteobiflex glucosamine/chondroitin supplements to see if that improves your joints. I don't have arthritis (that I know of) but I do have issues with some joints - particularly knees - as they have both been repeatedly damaged by sports injuries and motorcycle accident. The stuff really seems to help alot with my mobility and reducing pain.

That sounds painful Frank .. and annoying. I hope it doesn't get any worse.
