Yep.

1,000 mgs of Vit C 3 times a day. I use powdered and dissolve it in

water, than drink the water. Immediate absorption that way.

 

Olive oil, one Tbs daily. I take it with one of my Vit C bottles.

 

And I also, if there is pain (which is virtually NEVER any more), I

massage the area with peanut oil for 10 minutes. It's and Edgar Cayce

healing tactic.

....and you can vary your stance angle a thousand different ways to

get a 3-dimensional strategy. There is a reason our butts are big

(relatively). Your back and knees will thank your hips.

And don't forget to stretch your hip-flexors!

Most of us sit so much, it really helps to stretch the other way.

AS my wife found out some years ago, hip pain can be the manifestation

of a back problem.

 

So you may want to conside chiropractic treatment.

 

Mine has been very helpful in providing long-term relief for my neck &

shoulder stiffness; but his work on my back and also my ankle seems to

have cleared up the tendinitis in my knee.

 

His opinion is that addressing the pain by massaging and stretching

the muscles doesn't address any underlying problems with the bones and

the way that the nerves pass through them; so the stiffness and pain

come back. Before I used him, I used a masseuse and she couls always

give me temporary relief but the neck stiffness came back
