EventComment receiving replies
I have right hip pain sometimes after running short distances and also sometimes at night when I lay on my right side (and this happens even if I have not been running.) I have MAI/MAC lung infection, which is a micobacterium infection. Another girl who has MAI/MAC also said she gets hip pain.
Two questions:
1) I was wondering MAI/MAC lung infection bacteria could be affecting the hip area, or is it likely due to something else?
2) Are there basic recommendations on how to prevent the hip pain.

Hi, thank you for the question. Here is the response from Dr. Hartigan:
"The MAC is unlikely to cause hip symptoms, more likely a coincidence.
Basic recommendation to prevent hip pain is to cross-train instead of doing just one type of exercise. Stretch prior to exercise. Include core, lumbar spine, abductor and adductor strengthening into your workout regimen. Also, yoga and swimming are very good for building core/hip strength without irritating the hip significantly."
