I had a bad hip for years. It was quite painful. I never got it looked at because I was really, really, busy. life slowed down a bunch, and even though my hip wasn't that bad, I went to a physio to get it fixed up finally. She did dry needling in my back, and made my entire lower back and hip nothing but agony. To the point where I was hunched over while walking. I kept going back, since the onset of the pain was delayed by a few days, and It took me a while to figure it out. It made for a really crappy spring this year.

Thankfully, a massage therapist saved me from purgatory, and released the tight hip flexors so they could heal up, and I'm way better than I was before.
