Hip Pain vs. Ovarian Cyst Differential: Week in Review 34
The conversation discusses a case of a 34-year-old female with hip pain and a history of low back pain. The patient is active in CrossFit and has been experiencing right anterior hip pain associated with squatting, running, and jumping. The pain started several months ago and has worsened recently. The chiropractors suspect an internal hip issue and work on stabilizing her back while calming down the hip. However, further examination reveals that the patient has a history of ovarian cysts and potential endometriosis. The chiropractors recommend that she see an OB/GYN and consider functional medicine to address the hormonal dysregulation.
