Recently I went to a nearby Chiropractor. He said that my muscle tightness wasn’t that bad, but he was concerned about my left hip not moving like it should and that it wasn’t rotating because of muscle tightness. These are called hip flexors. He gave me some exercises to help loosen it up better. I made an appointment for the next week. Here is my final chance to begin walking better. I vowed to do my exercises religiously and I still am doing them.

Well, I went again the following week and it seems to be helping my hip move easier. The Chiropractor is still waiting for my knees to be x-rayed this week before he goes much further. I am anxious for him to help my numbness in my left leg. Whenever I lay on my left side, my leg starts tingling and it is very painful which consequently always affects my sleep.

I finally got an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. He gave me some pamphlets on gels to inject into my knees to help cushion them so my bones wouldn’t be rubbing against each other. This procedure will be done soon. I prefer this instead of surgery given my past history.
