knee and hip pain

If your pain is in the joints, it could be a form of arthritis. Are you getting any cracking or popping noises in those joints?

You will first need to get a diagnosis from a doctor regarding what it is causing your pain. From there they can give you appropriate treatment and even recommend what type of physical therapy you may need if your leg muscles are getting weaker.

Let us know how it goes!

I went to hospital about two weeks ago now and the er doctor told me i hurt my cartledge thats it all said not how to restore my legs nothing just put a brase on and said there you go. The problem is I have not got money for doctor visit and insurence sucks. I love to walk and am using that slowly to try to loss weight also. At this point im lost.
 
I would try to find a book on physical therapy exercises that you can do for your problem.

I know cartilage problems can be rehabilitated (yes, you lose muscle strength in the leg when you have that type of injury). One exercise I remember my husband having to do after surgery to remove knee cartilage was taking a towel and putting it under his foot, grasping it on both sides with his hands. Then he would have to do slow repetitious bends.

You might want to stop by a physical therapist office and just ask if they have any exercises for low cost or free they could give you for this.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
