I was diagnosed with LP when I was 7. I wore a brace for 2 1/2 years and during that time remained a very active kid learning to ride a bike and skateboarding! In my early 20's I began to experience hip pain after a slip on the ice. Gradually my pain has become worse. I walk two miles a day 5 times a week, eat healthy and maintain a good weight. I'm not about to have surgery and am seeking information on any alternative therapies others have found. Thank you!
