Problem with right hip/back..

[kakajus]

Hello!

I dont know what to do anymore, so I am turning on this forum.
I have pain in my right hip and in whole right side of the back (now also on the upper side of adductor, little in the lower back), especially after a workout. When I am squating, it allways pulls me on the right leg. If I am trying to squat normaly, my right leg is turning in. Every excersise I do, it is always pulling me on the right leg. When I stand it looks like if I right leg is shorter, but it is not. My right quadriceps also looks smaller, but it is stronger than left quadriceps. Also when I am sitting, I am always on the right side.

I already tried with physiotherapist, but he didnt know how to help me. He said that I have problems only under bodyweight, because when I am lieing everithing is normal. He was releasing everithing on the upper and lower body.. traps, lats, lower back, it band, adductors, it band, glutes, hams, triceps, biceps,.. (+many names that I even dont remember). I 2 months I left there around 600€ for nothing.

Maybe if there are any excersises that I could try? I have tennis ball and foam roller + harder foam roller

You are seeing the wrong practitioner for this complaint go see a chiropractor or osteopath as manipulation is likely to be the key to spinal pelvic recovery.
I would see a chiropractor that can refer for x ray or has a x ray set up withing the clinic.

To hazard a guess you have a spinal or pelvic instability with has caused spasming of both the quadratus lumborum and the glut med. very common to cause all your symptoms. However unless you look at the joints and release them there will be no amount of massage that will help.

Can't say I agree with the above post. However I do agree that perhaps a new approach is needed, perhaps via a change in direction from your current therapist or via an assessment by another. I does sound like perhaps you are using the two legs differently, perhaps one more in the quads and the other more in the hamstrings and gluteals. I would stop squatting for now or get a squat coach to look at how you are squatting. You may in fact be building this movement dysfunction by squatting more that you should via using incorrect and compensatory techniques.

Always bear in mind your age. You are young. The body is capable of great healing itself and really this sounds like a training exercise going wrong. I do agree you could also have an x-ray or scan to remove any doubt of underlying skeletal anomaly. A manipulation in of itself is not likely to provide a long-term cure.

Right on bob, you seem to agree with everything I said..... Don't know what you don't agree with?

Manipulation is more likerly to help in conjunction normal physio techniques (massage and excise).

Unfournatly a physio can't take and read x rays.

So with that in mind seeing a Chiro with save you a lot of trouble e.g. Referral to and fro.

NOTE: There is NO undergrad physio technique (UK) that chiropractors and osteopaths arn't trained in so don't worry.

manipulation is a tech that works well for chronic lower back pain. As noted in the NHS advisor board NICE. Also used outwardly by tiger woods, red bull F1 team and usan bolt.

(As each practitioner works in a evidence based manner they can choose the tech that is best for your clinically diagnosed condition.)

All a patient needs is a practitioner that is proficient in many skills.

Proficiency in manipulation doesn't matter so much for pain/injury in the extremities because pain is rarely generated for the joints in these locations/structures.

However in the that spine and pelvis the facet and SI joints are massive pain generators. Hence manipulation a joint specific tech works very well here.

Chiropractors have the added undergrad skill of being trained in muskuloskelatal radiology.

Given your: complaint area, need for more imaging and previously unsuccessful physio therapy.

My recommendation would stand you in good stead.

Good luck

As a side note. A gilmores groin could cause many of your symptoms. Worth someone investigating just to rule in or rule out

Thanks for all answers!

I visited chiropractic. He said, that I have calcination on 2 discs (I think L6 and one more) and probably also in shoulder and ankle. I am now doing some excersises that he suggested, but nothing seems to help (I think its even worse). What can I do about it? My vitamin D levels are in upper range, I also supplement magnesium. I am not eating any milk products for about 2 years now, so I am wondering if lack of calcium can cause calcination on joints?

[nmarman]

I am assuming you mean calcification on the discal levels. Depending on wether this is a osteophytic formation, HADD or possibly even ankylosising the treatment with be similar. But you should find out the exact diagnosis. Was a x-ray taken?
If its degeneration you can recover but the pain will get worse before it gets better. You have to move the sections of the spine to break down the osteophytic formations (calcification) this gives a very achy feeling. As long as you do this in a controlled way it can be effective. You will need to limit so high impact excesise and concentrate on stabilise segment (core exercise) once pain starts to reduce in about a month.
You with probably need a substantial amount of treatment combined with rest then rehab on top.
