Hi all, I have been having persistent hip pain in roughly the circled spot for a few months now. I want to do something about it before it gets worse but I don’t know how. It feels very tight and unpleasant when stretching and I also get pins and needles very quickly when sitting on my sit bones or a hard chair.

Another clue to the location of the discomfort: the stretch that feels best is sitting crisscross with my right foot on bottom and leaning away from my hip with my leg grounded to the floor.

I can feel my body compensating and stiffness is slowly starting to travel up my lower back.

    Did anything happen before it started? Did you overexert or fall or otherwise injure yourself?

    I’ve learned enough from going to my husband’s back appointments that the tingly pins-and-needles thing indicates some kind of nerve involvement, but it might just be getting squished by swollen tissues caused by other irritation (that happens to him every now and then). You probably should get it checked out. 😕
