Why are my hips, buttocks and thigh areas hard to touch?
Patient: The soft tissue in my hips, buttucks and thigh areas is hard to the touch. When i message it, it softens a bit. However, it feels extremely sore. Like a very bad bruise for days after. This has been going on for months. Not sure what it is but it's starting to worry me Doctor: Hi...Your stuffeness and soreness in your ower body is due to reduced stability and increased Stein on the lower body...Nothing to worry...It could be mainly because of improper recovery in the muscles...less hydration...less flexibility...I suggest you to kindly...Roll your lower body with a foam roller regularly..Do proper warming up and cool down when you are engaging in some physical activity..If possible do swimming once in a week..Drink ORS incase if you happen to engage in any physical activity...Started working on your lower body stability exercises...Do spine extensions to reduce load on the low back...Hope this is helpful for you..Revert back incase if you need further clarification...
