Hip Issue - General Health Message Board

Hello, lately my hip has been killing me to a bad extreme. It's only on my right side. I read on the internet that a cause might be your back, and I feel like this may be because of my huge and heavy backpack i carry to school. Do you think It's something I should worry about? Or, do you think it came along with my medication for Robinul? Even though it's been awhile. I've had this pain for about 2 days now, and whenever I walk straight, it hurts very bad around my right hip. Is there any possible reasons of how I got this, and are there risks if I don't see a doctor and whatnot? I'd just like information and opinions. Thanks.

Yeah it's cause of the knapsack...most kids just sling it over on one side instead of wearing it over both shoulders to balance out the weight. All that weight is going to mess up your body if you don't balance it. Get rid of some to...into the locker, at home etc. Also see if your parents have coverage for a chiro...it doesn't hurt to go in for a yearly check up....I find it worth....if you don't take care of it now ....trust me it will catch up with you.

Maybe, so. But, I carry it on both sides. Plus, the fact, I don't have time to go to my locker. If you were at my school you'd understand why. It's a killer to get from hall to hall, but thank you. I might get a check up soon enough.
