hip and back pain together
 

Look at my sig.
I had hip pain both hips, back doc said probably from back, but after back surgery pain in hips didnt get any better. Saw hip doc who said i have labral tears in both hips. Cause pain in groin and hip and down outside of legs where getting worse after back surgery. Back felt better after surgery but not for that long before back pain was back. I wish i would have know about hip labral tears before back surgery. Would have had just labral repair in hips and not microfracture surgery in rt hip. Cause it took so long to figure out it was labral tears in hips, did damage to cartilige in hips that why needed microfracture surgery in rt hip. So go to hip doc and get checked for hip issues. Wish i did.

Did PT provide you with the SI belt?

I have a herniated disc at L5 S1, I cannot lay on my back without getting a burning pain in my thighs. It it making walking "interesting" to say the least. I do feel some pain in the hip area from this too.

My wife has had three spinal surgeries. After her final one, the surgeon referred her to therapeutic massage clinic. A one hour session discovered and released multiple referring trigger points in her hips and low back; two more sessions stopped the pain.

The piriformis, a 3-inch long muscle that is buried beneath the gluteus maximus can entrap the sciatic nerve and cause pain, tingling and numbness that radiates down the leg and even into the foot--in fact, in 25% of the human race, the nerve passes through the piriformis. Turns out that was my wife's problem.
