Hip pain when walking?

If the hip shortens your stride, pushing harder can blur the signal. First check whether one passage changes the response.

First check: Walk a few steps and rate the hip pain from 0 to 10. Test one hip or outside-thigh passage, then walk the same way again.

Use the 0 to 10 loop

Write down the number before you do anything. After the first step, measure the same movement or feeling again. The goal is not to prove anything. The goal is to listen to the body with less guessing.

Stop signals: Stop and seek medical advice after a fall, if you cannot bear weight, or with fever, strong swelling, redness or severe new pain.

Next step

If the signal is mild and familiar, PFU Pocket can guide you through the first measured step. If the signal is severe, new or unclear, do not use this as medical advice.
