e site is french but I'm sure you'll find what you

need........<br><br>All this talk of knee injuries has got me feeling a

bit left out, not because I haven't injured my knee

(last injury was december but we're friends again now)

what I'm sufferring from now is a pain in the

butt!!<br>That is to say a fair amount of pain in my right hip

joint (yes, that was the same side as my knee injury)

in particular to the rear, and feeling more like

it's in the 'ball' as opposed to the socket, although

the injury feels more muscular than skeletal if you

see what I mean. <br>When I hurt my knee I kind of

knew when I did it, same as most people trying too

hard / not concentrating enough and so

on............<br>but with this hip thing the only thing I can relate

it to is going horse-riding!<br>Nature of the injury

is tightness and pain most of the time but easing

during practice;- after second suryanamaskarA pain

decreases and then there is just tightness during practice

..........forward bends are fine and I am able to do lotus and all

other asanas (to my own limit of course) without pain,

but when I extend in an inversion for example there

is a tight pain in the area described, also when in

purvottanasana or even samasthiti ......... then as I cool down

and during the day the pain and increased tightness

come back...... this has been with me for about two

months, is the same on rest days and if I try and

restrict practice, and also doesn't seem to be getting

noticeable worse or better, what do we think??
