I’ve always thought I had a high pain tolerance giving natural child birth passing huge kidney stones and having arthritis but I’ll tell you the nawing pain from this groin pain is right up there with the child birthing and stones!!! Aging ain’t for wimps that’s for sure

[@vincentconti-jb3hd]

Cheryl ditto on that! My Mother suffered for the last five years of her life. She made it to 85. A myriad of problems. She had always been in good health. I realize now how well she handled it. She was mostly frustrated.... I'm not sure how I will handle it!!!!! Only 72. I miss my Mother!

[@lindashelby2246]

Yes me too. I thought I had a high tolerance. But this pain is almost crippling😢. It stops me and it’s nothing I can do about it at that time. Never saw this coming for me even with age because my legs were the strongest part of me.

@@juliewalmsley6766 well I’m sorry about your pain I can only imagine I hope orthopedic got you right now! 🙏 I’m 3 weeks post op for a new knee and I can say I’m a little disappointed I had my other knee done a few years ago and it was pretty easy I thought but this one is still painful and I’m a little upset over it thinking I’d be further along than this but I have heard that if you have both knees done that they are both different.

This is the best news for my Arthritic hips and knees. I just yesterday told my GP that I didn’t want surgery so I’m on Pain Management instead.

I went for physical therapy and they had not shown me this versions of these exercises, they had me left legs up 10xs each sides, back and forth, they had me doing butterfly exercises and stretches with weights on my ankles and it irritated my arthritis and groin pain I'm good doing it for awhile, but when I get done and go home I'm in the worstt pain and have flares all the time for days and months at a time I'm going to try and work on these exercises, they look much comfortable and easy to do I been watching your channel for some times now and recommended people to you, you do an amazing and terrific job thanks!❤

I have suffered from upper thigh/groin area pain on my right leg for about five years. Weight loss, walking, and stretching-nothing has worked. Sometimes I walk with a limp but I attribute it to age. I have watched many videos on KZbin but nothing works, not even taking Naproxen. However, your video offers a GREAT explanation for why your simple exercises work. I’m starting them today and thank you!

[@scottmartinez7466]

I am a PT and have started having this issue about a year ago after recovering from a bicep tear that kept me out of the gym. I believe by building the surrounding muscles, quad, glutes, core ane those little muscles within the hip while incorporating mobility exercise, you will ultimately find relief. Baby steps of course, but consistently is key to making progress. Yes, it may be uncomfortable to some degree initially but it will get better. Consistent training, proper nutrition to repair and adequate recovery. Rinse and repeat.

[@brucewalters8635]

I did it with you. It feels right. I knew my glutes and hamstrings needed strengthening. This after over stretching every muscle around my hip then remembering that it's not always stretching that's needed. It's strengthening to correct muscle imbalance. Have the same problem with my shoulder.

[@darnettable]

Thank you so much for addressing the hip and esp the groin area. No one ever does that. I'm so excited to get some relief at last!

@@scotthunt2479 using only glucosamine has no effect. you have to make use of collagen and then use glucosamine chondroitin 3000mg only in this way you can regenerate your cartilage in the body. this is what I recommend to my patients who for the most part did and do sport of all kinds.

Hi Teri. Is your pain in the hip/groin area? Are you aware that the symptoms (pain, inflammation, etc.) and condition are not the problem? They are the body’s response to what really is the problem. If you identify and correct the true root cause, there is nothing for the body to respond to. Make sense? This is what I do!

I have osteoarthritis in my hip. 12 years ago my specialist suggested hip replacement. I saw a video of the operation, and said: NO WAY! I joined a yoga group for seniors, and slowly got my mobility back. Than I discovered these kind of exercises on KZbin, and added it to my exercise routine. Big improvement! Than I learned about what FOOD can do to your body. So far it is the same story like everybody else’s. My addition to this is, FOLK DANCE ! A lot of steps are like these exercises really, and fun to do!

I've had a hip replacement and PT before and after..the front leg raise is the first thing they had me try to do after surgery-which I could not do without support. Now the other hip is having similar pain in the groin but PT is still having me do the front leg raises along with side and back. Also, standing knee raises stepping over a band, which really is hard! I've been pushing through the pain but, now I'm wondering if I need to back off on doing those. I'm no longer in PT due to insurance saying my movement range is normal?!. They are not considering that I have to waddle to walk! It's not normal! Knee is bone on bone too and curving in. I'm wondering if I should be doing so many exercises and walking so much if it's getting worse? I will try doing your exercises at home. My Osteoarthritis group recommended your channel. Thanks!

My sacro illiac joints are dodgy. Sometime I experience, severe tightening through left buttocks, pain through groin, and cramping so sever on inner thigh.

[@maradall]

This is the first time I have heard anyone acknowledge, let alone explain, this pain in my upper thigh! It's all very well for people ("experts") to say that the pain is muscle imbalance - and it is true, it is not in the joint as such, but in the surrounding tissues. But it does seem to be particularly arthritis associated, and just being urged to "exercise more" - and especially daily walking - does not help at alll I have been diagnosed with hip and knee arthritis, and indeed I can feel some limitations on the range of movement from my hips - but the pain is in the soft tissues: muscles & fascia, most likely. It's important to understand what is going on with the pain in order to address it. I've come across backwards walking and have tried it previously, but these exercises are something I can do more consistently and systematically. Thank you!

[@arthritisadventure]

I have pain in the front of my hip with burning thighs and numbness down my entire leg. I have a femoral pinched nerve,not arthritis. It can be from the lumbar herniated discs L 2,3,4 causing the pinched femora nerve or it can just be from the femoral itself pinched from tightness in flexor muscles from sitting too much or to much abduction exercises such as side leg lifts. Mine is caused from raising my leg to high with abduction exercises and making sharp turns exercises.

I've always had hip, leg and back pain. I'm also starting to experience numbness in my right shoulder, particularly when I rest my elbows on hard surfaces. A few years ago I returned to the gym (after a 20-year layoff). I made a point of not overdoing it since injuring myself means I'm not able to continue. I've been doing leg presses and Roman chair sit-ups. The sit-ups while they're helping my lower back are putting quite a strain on my hips and groin. Recently while grocery shopping, I started experiencing severe pain in my left groin area. It was all I could do to hobble out of the store. I took a few days off of my workout schedule and now I'm afraid to go back for fear of aggravating the injury more. What abdominal exercises would you recommend to avoid reinjury while still strengthening my lower back?

Thanks for useful tips. Suggest you light yourself from the front. It's sometimes hard to understand you because your face is in the dark.

I have this!!!

Thank you this is the exact problem I’m having. I will join the 4 day challenge this week. Walking is my main source of exercise and I love it. Any advise on how to continue in a safe way?

This is awesome 😊 My lumbar is fused, with future sx in other parts. My question is, would these exercises help Sacral Joint Dysfunction? Thanks!
