My back issue is really a hip issue, moderate arthritis in my right hip, caused by the hip socket is not as deep as it should be. I have pain that runs from mid right buttocks, to the center of my back just below the rib cage, however my right groin and right quad also become inflamed. For years I did not know what was happening. Went to one chiropractor, who did adjustments he wanted to. Then got a good chiropractor who assessed limited mobility in the right hip. I drive 1000 miles, in two weeks for work, which does not help. MD told me to move my hip as often as possible to lubricate the joint. There are times when my hip is not too bad while riding but others have caused shorter rides and some days the pain is so severe I cant ride at all. MD states I will need hip replacement surgery 2-4 years. I’m 51, prognosis for younger people with hip replacements in not as good as older persons, replacement should last 15-20 years.
