Okay, only some of my followers will understand what I am talking about and hopefully all will find the humor.
My hips are acting up, in and out they slip. Not really all the way out, but I feel the ligaments slip over and joint come out just a bit, than ligament slips back over and they go back in. This combined with the cold and the arthritis it is very uncomfortable.
anyway, my ortho saw how I was walking when he came to admit another patient in the er. When he asked e were it hurt, he just was not getting the picture. So, I took his hands and placed them where it hurt. Now for those that suffer hip pain, the pain is normally not on the outside of the hips, but right where the butt meets the top of your leg. That is where mine is. After 15 years of him fixing me, I am use to him and he is very professional, but his med student, not familiar with the history turn the brightest shade of red and even ask my dear doc if I was hitting on him... My doc shared that little bit of info later with me and we laughed so hard that I about peed my pants. So for those with pain in what could be sensitive areas, please be aware that some new doctors will not understand you grabbing their hands and having them grab your ass.
For the record..... pain is right were the finger tips are in the above picture... lol
