Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Hello... At the ripe old age of 25 I have developed hip trouble! Well... not really, just kind of. I managed to injure my left hip about two and a half months ago, and the discomfort is still with me... so I went to the doctor this morning who did a bit of prodding around the effected area. He pressed on this one spot that caused a very sharp pain, and with a knowing nod he said I'd sprained it. So the verdict is: I take anti-inflamtory stuff for 2-3 weeks (ibuprofen, etc.), and if that doesn't work they will give me a shot of steroid. I'm not particularly fond of pills, but I am even less fond of needles. So ibuprofen it is I'm afraid! I guess what I would like to ask is if anyone knows of any good home treatment methods (compresses, etc.) that might help? Thank you... -Anne-Louise.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 For natural anti inflamatory try 3 grams of non acidic Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) combined with 3 grams of MSM (methyl sulfonal methane) at one dose. This should give you relief within 20 minutes. If you can't take pills you can dissolve the Calcium Ascorbate in orange juice. I take my MSM in powder form by putting a half teaspoonful under my tounge and add a little water to form a sludge and then wash it down with juice or water. You can also get an MSM cream for topcal application. rusty Anne-Louise Lasley <rosebud76 Monday, May 21, 2001 4:22 AM ... hip trouble ... >Hello... > >At the ripe old age of 25 I have developed hip trouble! > >Well... not really, just kind of.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Anne-Louise: For a deep sprain or bruise, time and rest are the best methods of dealing with the inflammation. It may be hard to elevate the area, but since it is not 'acute' but 'chronic' at this point (meaning that the pain has persisted past the time when it should have gone away) then you can try warm compresses to help increase circulation to the area for healing. For an 'acute' sprain you would use ice until the swelling diminished and then shift to heat. For an acute attack of pain, such as what you might experience in sciatica (the nerve is irritated, causing pain that radiates from the lower back or buttocks down one leg) it is suggested to 'fool' the pain receptors by rotating ice and heat in five minute intervals. You might want to try developing a visualization for the area, seeing the musculature and attachments mending and relaxing, becoming healthy and well vascularized. If there is already palpable heat in the area, you would not want to suggest that the area is warm. As an add on, you might want to look up hips in Louise Hay's " Heal Your Body " , Debbie Shapiro's " Bodymind Workbook " or see if there is a listing about hips over at the Caroline Myss discussion board. (Michelle? Have you seen anything on hips there?) Sometimes, hip problems (which include sciatica because of the nerve tract involvement) are 'tribe' or family related, or indicate a need for support that can't be expressed well. Many an independent elder has had to enter long term care following a fractured hip. I'd certainly encourage you to continue using energy if you have been, with the intent that your body will utilize it for your highest good and help you discover and release any emotional issues that might be related to it. Have you tried TAT or EFT? Anne-Louise Lasley wrote: > Hello... > > At the ripe old age of 25 I have developed hip trouble! > > Well... not really, just kind of.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Caroline, Thank you so much for your suggestions... I am currently learning EFT and am finding it immensely useful. I am also going to my aromatherapist on Wednesday. He is also trained in massage, so hopefully he might be able to suggest a method of massage that will help. In regard to what I said about reiki not working, I chose my words poorly. What I meant to say was that if the person was not able to channel the energy properly the client would receive little or no benefit from a reiki healing. Whether the method was reiki or something else is irrelevant if the practioner cannot refine and use the energy properly. Healing of any sort is very much like a hosepipe. If the practioner is not hooked up to the source and can allow the energy to flow through them in the proper manner, its rather a pointless exercise. I do apologise if I offended any reiki practitioners on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Dear Anne_Louise: I think your making some things a little to impossible when in fact they may not need to be. Reiki for instance. There are curently some very good studies, random/blind double groups etc, showing prayer to be effective in healing. Prayer of any type. They just took any old group of people and told them to prayer for group A. Group A, being a post operative group of patients did infact do much better than the group not prayed for. So something undefined is going on here. Now Reiki, if nothing else, is a sincere prayer for the client. Based on studies, it would then be effective. To what extent who knows. Also, studies show relaxation to be effective in healing, Reiki helps both people relax more. Feeling loved helps healing, Reiki is about paying attention to, loving another. I understand chi ki, and pranic energy, but I don't think this is what personal healing modalities such as Reiki, Healing touch etc are really about. It's something deeper, more human and to that end, more spiritual. The intention is everything. A Tai Chi master's hand energy can actually be measured. That is real impressive, but if his/her intention is not humble and sincere no healing happens with that hands on either. As far as Kundalini. I have in fact seen people raise thier kundalini, yes it is very powerful, and very intense, but I have seen it, and they were not totally enlightened. I think that if your belief system requires that something be very difficult, than it is. Just my opinion on stuff, hope you hear it in the spirit of just sharing. love connie > Anne-Louise Lasley <rosebud76 > > Mon, 21 May 2001 22:37:54 +0100 > > Re: ... hip trouble ... > > Caroline, > > Thank you so much for your suggestions...

I managed to injure my left hip about two Hi there Anne-Louise, Awkward hip problems are often helped by gentle osteopathy. Doctors aren't really trained in this stuff even if they are orthopaedic specialists. With the hip, gently does it. Perhaps cranial osteopathy would be best. Good luck Arjuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 I have been considering osteopathy quite seriously. I've never had a treatment though. My Nana has however. I just get a bit nervous about someone adjusting my bones. I know that its a well-trained person doing it... please don't think my hesitation comes from that. If I do seek osteopathy, I will try to keep in mind how much it has helped my grandmother. I think she is a bit tougher than I am though! =), Anne-Louise. > levitron > > Tue, 22 May 2001 00:54:57 -0000 > > Re: ... hip trouble ... > > , Anne-Louise Lasley <rosebud76@k...> wrote: >> Hello... >> >> At the ripe old age of 25 I have developed hip trouble! >> >> Well... not really, just kind of.
