Re: Snapping Hip Syndrome
You can also take an Epson Salts bath, but the key to it is don't rinse yourself off when getting out of the bathtub otherwise you wash away the Mg. Just pat yourself dry or even better air dry.
Very often when my hips are hurting so much I can't fall asleep I will take two Hyland's Leg Cramps tablets. They're homeopathic and contain a form of magnesium. Generally within 20 minutes it decreases the pain enough that I can sleep. Can get it at a health food store or even Walmart.
Okay I figured it out the other maneuver I did that really helped. Laying down on your side of your affected leg. Bend your knees of your affected leg so that you’re able to grab your foot from behind. Now stretch your other leg downwards as though you’re trying to tiptoe. You should feel your affected leg’s joint roll back in. Do this a few times and repeat whenever necessary. This was most effective for me.
