Re: left hip pain

Whippet, have you considered the possibility that you may have an arthritc hip? Seriously, it is a possibility. Does this pain only arrive in your golf game? If so it could be something to do with your swing or whatever you do with your hips in the swing

Re: left hip pain

I can tell you from personal experience that hip pain can be a symptom of either hip problems or lower back problems If you have wear with the lower vertebrae then pinching of the nerves in this area can produce painful symptoms in the hip. Get it checked out to highlight the problem area so you can understand what can be done.

How are you turning your hips? Are you sliding excessively? First thought that comes to mind.
