Falling Apart To the Left

Root canal today.

Hip issues all weekend.

I've had hip problems before but not like this. From online reading, it appears as bursitis. Doesn't that sound as such as old person's condition? It seemed to start getting better last night. Once again running is put on hold. I had not been actively running the last week so when my hip flared up I don't think running is the problem. Still running is probably not good idea right now.

I consider myself a healthy person. By appearance, I feel I look healthy. I exercise. I eat well. However I get old people conditions. I lost hearing in one ear after a surgery. That can happen to anyone but a hearing loss makes you feel old. I had gall bladder surgery in my mid 30's. The doctor kept saying I was not the typical patient for such - I was young, healthy diet and not overweight. Another weird thing is all this affects my left side: left ear, tooth on my left and left hip.

Maybe I can be an old witch for Halloween.

You are healthy ... just a few temporary blips on the screen!

Hope all is well real soon!

My brother had gall bladder surgery at 25. It happens to people of all ages. And the hearing thing too (I know a couple of people with one working ear). As far as the only left side thing, have you considered something in your brain or heart not functioning right? that sounds scary, forget I mentioned it..

I suggest an acupuncturist/Chinese Medicine doctor. I have many issues on one side of my body as well and have found this helpful.

Don't see an acupuncturist who is a chiropractor; make sure you see a licensed Chinese medicine practitioner!

You should just write my posts, Joan...we're so much alike. I, too, have been having hip issues - esp. early morning, ugh. Yoga helps, btw. (when I do it)

I had my gall bladder removed at 19!

We are NOT getting old. We are uhhh...ummm...maturing?

Nah, not an old witch. You could be a left-wing nut, though! :)
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Also, would you mind letting me know which dentist you use? I need a crown, but am lukewarm about my dentist.
