I am having pain that comes and goes sometimes fairly quickly -- but there every day and when I wake up on the outside of my thigh and hip joints at my thigh - I am a middle school pe teacher and our floor is cement with a hard rubber topping - so needless to say it is hard on the body. The pain goes away when I play basketball three times a week but gets painful standing.... the pain gets to a 5 level where it limits my abilities to function well.
