Episode 67, ‘If you want to walk until you die, protect your hip joints!’ will air on EBS at 9:50 PM on the 31st (Sat).

△ My hip hurts. Is it related to my hip joint?

The hip joint is located about the length of the index finger from the end of the pelvis to the groin. If there is a problem with the various muscles and nerves in front and behind the hip joint, surprisingly, hip pain begins. From cases where the deep part of the hip hurts to cases where the buttocks touch something, there are cases where it hurts. Despite undergoing various detailed tests, the reason why I didn’t know that the cause of the pain was the hip joint is because of the characteristics of the hip joint?

Other joints have pain exactly where the problem is, but the hip joint is different. Hip pain varies from person to person and from disease to disease. When walking, the groin hurts, or you may feel like you have a limp, or your lower back, hips, or thighs hurt. So it is easy to mistake whether it is a lower back disease or a hip joint disease. How can you differentiate between hip joint and lower back pain? And how can you figure out the current state of your hip joint? We will reveal everything from the causes of hip pain that prevents you from sitting or lying down to self-diagnosis of hip joint abnormalities.

△ Various symptoms and various hip joint diseases

If you know your joints, you will win every battle. The same goes for hip joints. If you don’t know the shape of your joints and use them excessively, problems can occur in your hip joints. Case study Younghee has difficulty taking steps when she gets up from sitting for a long time. The symptoms started 6 years ago when she walked too hard while traveling abroad. Kitae, whose left hip hurts every time he walks and even turns over is difficult, Geoncheol, a businessman who can’t even walk 100 meters, and Gyeongah, whose hip bone hurts when she sits or lies down. What kind of hip joint disease do these four precious bodies have?

△ Hip joint, the center of upper and lower body connection, has a 20% mortality rate within 1 year if fractured

The hip joint, which moves 24 hours a day except when lying down, has a wide range of motion and is very active, making it prone to injury. In particular, if the hip is impacted in a fall accident, the hip joint is easily cracked and broken. This is why you must protect your hip joint if you want to walk on two feet until you die.

Hip pain comes on suddenly. Typically, the area around the hip joint, especially the groin, swells or becomes hot, and pain is felt when sitting down and standing up. In severe cases, it is difficult to walk or climb stairs, or you may walk with a limp. If the hip joint is broken, you cannot sit down, and you cannot even use a wheelchair. If a fracture occurs, the golden time is important. It is essential to have surgery for a hip fracture as soon as possible. It is known that the mortality rate within one year after a hip fracture is close to 20%. If recovery is difficult after a fracture, complications such as pulmonary embolism and stroke may occur, reaching a point where nothing can be done.

△ Strong hip joints! Firm buttocks!
The ultimate reveal of the hip and glute exercise that protects both your hip joints!

Before injection treatment and surgery, the first method recommended by Professor Tae-Young Kim, a hip specialist, is exercise. Professor Kim and the four precious cases try to escape the prison of hip pain by making the muscles around the hip joint flexible and firm. The hip joint exercise method, which is only for your precious body, reduces pain and increases muscle strength and flexibility. Professor Kim was surprised by the great changes in the cases, even with the addition of exercises that are perfect for various diseases and symptoms. This proves the value of exercise once again.

The results of the Hip Pain Prison Escape Project after two weeks will be revealed on the 67th episode of EBS 1TV titled ‘If you want to walk until you die, protect your hip joints!’ on Saturday the 31st at 9:50 PM, and can be viewed again on the EBS homepage.
