    My bmi is only 18.5 so im not concerned about that... i live in the middle of nowhere and dont drive atm so the only way to get to a doctor is walk miles or taxi but i have a special needs child who needs to stay away from sick people so cant take him to a doctors, o have no family here or friends to have him...i have anxiety so physically cant even phone a doctor let alone go to one...lots of reasons

    Truly sorry to hear that. Yet... you sort of prove the point I was making. Which is that resolving the issues that are stopping you from being able to see a doctor (such as the anxiety you are experiencing) is more important that engaging in exercise. Your untreated mental well being is holding your physical well being hostage.

    You are 21yo. The health improvements you are achieving with kickboxing and cardio are... minimal. Marginal.
    Quite possibly counterproductive to your overall health, because they may be impeding weight regain and possibly be causing long term physical damage to your hip. By contrast, the health improvements you would achieve by addressing your anxiety and any other similar issues that are holding you back would be exponentially more valuable.

    I've met a number of people who woke up in their 40s realising they've spent most of their lives spinning their wheels self medicating underlying psychological issues and brain chemistry imbalances. Food? Booze? Drugs? Withholding food? Excess Exercise? Toxic Behaviours? You name it. People do it. All to avoid actively addressing underlying issues.

    This is excellent advice OP, please take notice of it.

    (You mention 18.5 If you're approaching this from the bottom, be aware that Dr. Google points out that most re-feeding protocols aim for a BMI of 20. Apparently brain chemical and hormonal imbalances often need people to proceed past 18.5 before they will correct. Also note that anxiety (usually about the regain) apparently peaks just short of the target weight and reduces significantly as target weight is achieved)

    Anyway: don't know you... or anything about you. Just some things that came to mind.

    Oh this has really hit home! I think this is what i needed to hear! Thank you so much ❤

    Good

    Do something about this feeling

    And if you're UK there are many services you can access including house calls and you really need to tap into that support structure for the sake of yourself and your family

    Good luck

    Do you do enough dynamic warmups? If it still happening after, it's likely a tight tendon or tracking issue. Look up stretches for the psoas muscle and try that for awhile. If it continues, there may be nothing much you can do.

    if you rode horses for a period of time that could have something to do with it. thats why you need to see a dr as much as you say you cant. what will you do if something goes wrong and you cant move like you should be able to to take care of your child? take it easy and try and get some help for it.you have no one to help with your child so you have to take care of yourself too
