Kind of a long shot but I'm at a loss.
Story: I'm 41, healthy, no real history of injury. I fell off a skateboard! According to the chiropractor, I sprained my SI joint and jammed my hip joint.
SI joint feels fine now - about a month later. Hip joint hurts daily. Pain level about 3 or 4 out of 10. Not bad but noticeable. My pedal stroke is challenged as well. I've also noticed running is more strained. It's like my leg got shorter.
I've tried stretching, traction, foam rolling and another chiropractor - he did traction on it as well, but to no avail.
My question is what specialty do I need to go see? Physical therapist or chiropractor (which hasn't helped much) or sports medicine or....what else is out there. Which specialty should I see?
My concern is that it will heal this way and later on I'll need surgery to fix it. I'm hoping that STers with actual medical knowledge will jump in here.
And, I'll take my answer off the air.
