Hi Everyone,

Two years ago (Oct 2005) I slipped on a wooden floor and landed with my full weight onto my left outer hip joint (pain was so inense I couldn't breathe) and it happened so fast I wasn't able to break my fall with my hands.

Few days later I will still in intense pain & a large bruise the size of an orange had appeared on my hip joint. I then had four months of physio - ultrosound/tens machine/manipulation & accupuncture. Even after four months I still was unable to lie on my left side as the joint area was sooo sore & continued to have pain in the groin area.
