sharp hip and knee pain on same side. (beehaw.org)

F 27 I've had this issue for more than a month. Sharp pain in my left hip and knee. The hip part feels close to my lower back, almost like it's in the socket. It seemed to be getting better, but today it just got worse again. I've got an appointment with my primary care doctor in a month ( the earliest I can be seen ), but I don't want to wait that long.

I thought about seeing a chiropractor, since years ago one helped me with back and neck pain after an accident, but I'm afraid if being injured.

I've never been good with doctors and don't have much money. I'm on Obama care in FL.

Any advice or kind words? Thanks for reading ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜Œโค๏ธ

Maybe sciatic nerve pain? Sitting for long periods can put pressure on that nerve that runs all the way down your legs from your back. It can get pretty nasty. There's a lot of stretches you can do that help (look it up on YouTube), and walking and standing help.

See a doctor, of course. Good luck
