You are welcome. My orthopedic doctor is a well-known specialist in hip preservation and actually lives out of state. He comes in weekly to see patients in the Dallas area. I had to go to a specific imaging center since that is where he had trained them to do the special position x-ray that clearly showed my impingement. Usually I see little on x-rays but this I could see clearly. I did research and found little on the topic online and nothing on the need to walk with your feet apart - so if you do find anything please share a link here on Mayo Connect.

I decided to share this treatment story since it is easy, no drugs and the results will be immediate. Trying to walk, sit and stand with your feet apart is an easy life style change to try. Of course it is possible that you do not have the impingement problem and thus the feet apart effort will make little difference. Once I did it for about a month it did become second nature. I'm thinking that's because it helped the pain and my mind and body was all in.

I wish you success on your PMR journey.
