Looking for suggestions on how to get hip pain relief. Have had the pain for years due to my age, being on my feet during the day and running on a treadmill 5 days a week. Some days are worse than others.

I take Osteo-BiFlex each day but does not seem to help much.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Try rubbing in Emu Oil or Magnesium oil. Epsom salt in a warm bath sometimes helps.

    Have to be blunt and completely honest, but I think your first step would be getting a proper diagnosis from a Dr. There are so many things it could be that none of us can give you the "right" answers

    I agree with Valerie, see a doctor first. It could be some type of inflammation and require a short dose of anti-inflammatories to clear it up.

    Or it could also just be something with hip flexors/ a mobility issue. I was having some hip trouble and started foam rolling my hamstrings, glutes, IT band, and piriformis. That, along with some mobility work, fixed my issues.

    I have had chronic hip pain in one of my hips and seeing the chiropractor was like a miracle cure. I recommend seeing your doctor and a chiropractor.
