The hip was gradual... I think a little injury I didn't much notice, then compensation, then tightness, then more compensation, and then the hip locked up, bc I didn't deal with it, and now I'm out of pain, feeling normal, and stretching daily to keep things aligned.
Another reminder about self care. A reminder not to suck it up, and soldier on.
We all need to stretch!

Yes, I get the same with my back, little twinge and I ignore it and then it gets worse. I need to get back into the habit of going once a month to get it fixed so it doesn't become a problem instead of waiting until it gets sore. Glad your hip is feeling better now and hope the stretching continues to help :) xx

Visitors were lovely over the long weekend, but gal pal experiencing gall stone pains.... very scary, honestly. She's a pretty clean eater, and watches her health.
No one knows why gallstones happen, and that's another frustration. I was afraid to cook, and feed her.... evenings were hard.... I couldn't help, but sat for hours researching and trying to help.
I don't know what I'd do if I came down with gallstones. This makes me want to start doing the gallstone cleanse every 6 months, and figuring out how to eat so as to avoid stressing the gallbladder.
This is a fresh hell, for sure. My younger brother had his gallbladder removed fairly recently, so..... I'm thinking proactive is necessary.
Anyone dealt with them, or know anything about them?

Medicine does know how gallstones happen.

Medicine knows how to prevent them.

Medicine knows what to do about it if they develop. Lithotripsy is miraculous but sometimes conventional surgery is necessary.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Hops!
The thing is, friend already eats clean, consumes healthy fats, and lacks the primary indicators, or most of them at least. She should be more active, but she's not obese, not taking any medications, outside supplements, and this is just so darned difficult.
We'd really like to pin down EXACTLY the foods or habits that create the problem, but the surgeon is spit balling, admittedly, outside a low or non fat diet, which is the only known cause of gallstones right now.
Everything else is demoralizing to read about the kinds of diet recommended..... we've been eating healthier than that for years. Friend is trying to deal with problem without surgery. There are complications with old scars and surgery from car wreck.
I feel so helpless.

They're not something I know anything about, Lighter, but they sound horrible, it's very difficult figuring out what to do if the known options have already been exhausted without success, but I hope she can find some way to relieve them soon. You are a good chum for trying to help xx
