    I’m 41 and I’ve done heavy lifting all my life and usually feel great but every few years this pops up and it hurts really bad . I’ve torn muscles and broken a few bones and this is just as bad pain wise . Evertime the same thing happens it starts and it’s extremely painful for a few days then im able to get into some stretching and hv to start super light on the weights and work my way back up . I know everyone is different but for me as soon as the super painful stuff starts to ease up the faster I can get back to at least light lifting mobility the faster the recovery is .

    It could be worse. I am on a catether with a leg bag probably from now on at 74. While walking out of the grocery store I spotted a guy much younger with legs that were swollen to the size maybe 30 plus inches or more and the flesh looked putrid. He actually had large shields strapped to his legs I guess for support. I don't know how he even lifted and moved his legs but he did and kept going. Mine is minor compared to what he was facing!

    Keep searching the videos. This video is a good informative but does not show you excercises to do. I found a chiropractic video that is very helpful to strengthen the gluts (butt muscles) and give hip bursitis a chance to heal. We can keep inflaming the sac by doing strenuous things and it reinjures or stays inflamed. Keep searching until you find something that works.

    This is the most debilitating injury of my life. I have my first Ironman on Sep 17th & I currently can no longer run. I already ruptured the distal head off my left bicep in March so the swimming is it going to be extremely painful - but doable. I’m willing to try anything to fix my hip so I can fulfill this lifelong dream of mine that I’ve been working on for 5 years. I’m turning, my body isn’t getting any stronger, my kids are gettin older, & life is getting more busy - this is probably my last chance to try to achieve this. I’ve lost the weight, built up the endurance, sacrificed all the long hours of painful training. I’m in shape, but currently broken. I’m just an average Joe with a dream. All I want is the chance to suffer for 15 hours and earn my IRONMAN status. I would give anything to be healed. I will pray to Jesus Christ.
