Suggest Treatment For Tendinitis At Left Hip
Question: I believe my left knee needs some work done and I have ignored this while continuing to run on it ( I am a long-time daily runner, although much reduced). But for the last week my upper-inside hip (left) has been in some pain...and today I could not fully run on it. Also ignored but my hips have been giving me some pain--not like now--but at times it feels like they're being ripped from the bone....just a small synopsis
