I currently have a pain in my left hip. I threw out my back last week and went to the doctor who gave me anti imflamitories and muscle relaxants. I also went to a chiropractor. From the one session I had with the chiropractor (who did acupuncture) my lower back muscle pain was gone after a few hours. I m left with now is severe pain in my hip, this time it s s different pain. Its very sharp, shoots down my leg, it also sometimes gets my leg tingly and num but that only last a few seconds. It hurts to walk or to turn suddenly but does not hurt to sit or lay down.
