Hi all, I have been having persistent hip pain in roughly the circled spot for a few months now. I want to do something about it before it gets worse but I don't know how. It feels very tight and unpleasant when stretching and I also get pins and needles very quickly when sitting on my sit bones or a hard chair.

Another clue to the location of the discomfort: the stretch that feels best is sitting crisscross with my right foot on bottom and leaning away from my hip with my leg grounded to the floor.

I can feel my body compensating and stiffness is slowly starting to travel up my lower back.

    Take a look at the apps 3D Human, and 3D Bones and Organs. They're on both iOS and Android, both free.

    aaaaaahhhhhhhh this is a WONDERFUL recommendation, thank you so much!!

    My husband has been struggling with a back injury since early March, and trying to find good anatomical diagrams to help him understand what he's feeling where is often a challenge. This will be so helpful!!
