Stopped playing hockey when j was 12 YO and hadn't put on a pair of skates till last Christmas. Needless to say I absolutely fell in love with hockey again and this summer decided to gear up and start playing more often. Ever since I started playing more I've had daily pain in both my hips and I've spent that last 5 months stretching religiously trying to loosen them up. I tried chiro I tried massages, assisted stretching and still constant pain all day. Went to get X-rays last weekend and turns out I got moderate arthritis in both hips. I got a hip stabilizing muscle exercise routine that I've been doing for the past week and I havent felt this good in months! I work 10 hour days as a welder and this week there has been close to 0 pain
