[Supertraining] Pain in Hip and L3-L4 stevemaxchillin Mon Jul 14 07:55:54 2008

Its been 2.5 years since I first strained my right glut medius after 
doing glut medius work and then doing straight leg dead lifts (warm 
up weight). After a week of my torso leaning over to my left most of 
the time, i felt almost normal but it took a year for me to run.
9 months ago i reinjured it doing a no weighted squat (after doing 
trigger point therapy work on my glutes the night before).

Since then i have had chiro work, physio work and more trigger point 
therapy work and had a sports doctor tell me (after a CT scan) that 
they dont know what the problem really is as all they can see is L3-
L4 has a minor/hair line bulging disc - my symptoms seem too chronic 
for the diagnosis. I think the original glut med injury was actually 
something occuring in L3-L4 now.

I have no flexibility or obesity or fitness issues, i still exercise 
3 days a week with weights mainly machines but cant get the right 
help or diagnosis from anyone. Ive spent too much money and today 
woke up as stiff as a board, with my torso leaning over to my right 
hip.......I can push my torso back, but i think the gluteal nerve at 
L3-L4 is compressed and hurts and certainly doesnt like it. By the 
way the impingement gets chronic when i try standing up after sitting 
down especially in buckets chairs.

Helpful feedback or advice needed!!
Sounding like a horror movie at 33y.o.
