Why my hip pain so much while standing - #588

It sounds like you're dealing with some significant discomfort, and I'm really sorry to hear that. Hip pain, especially when it's constant and affecting your ability to do daily activities, can be really troublesome. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this kind of pain might be related to Vata dosha imbalance—Vata being the energy that governs movement and flow in the body. A disc bulge could aggravate Vata, leading to those annoying pain sensations you're experiencing in your hip and leg. What you might want to try is incorporating some Ayurvedic practices to help balance your Vata. Start with your diet. Opt for warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Think whole grains like rice, or cooked vegetables like carrots and zucchini, with a bit of warm ghee or sesame oil, which are soothing. Avoid cold, raw, or dry foods as they might exacerbate the Vata qualities. Self-massage can be crucial too. Use warm sesame oil to gently massage your lower back and hips area. Do it daily if you can, maybe before showering. The heat and oil can help soothe the affected area and promote some relaxation. Remember, it doesn't have to be a lengthy ritual—a few minutes could make a difference. Yoga asanas focusing on grounding and stability, such as tree or mountain pose, may help gently restore balance. But please proceed cautiously, especially if certain movements trigger more pain. It's vital to listen to your body. If things don't improve, or if the pain worsens, it's absolutely essential to seek medical attention. Ongoing pain that affects daily activities might need an expert for comprehensive evaluation, like a combo of Ayurveda and allopathic medicine. Safety first for sure. Please be kind to yourself—it's not easy dealing with constant pain, and giving yourself time and space to heal is important.
