Have hip, thigh or knee pain? It could be coming from the back. Here’s a guide:

Likely from the low back if:
-pain is in buttock region or thigh (even if no low back pain)
-Bending forward/backward or leaning side to side in standing increases your pain
-Bending forward/lifting, or sitting or standing/walking long distances increases pain
-May have numbness, tingling, or weakness in leg, foot, or toes
-lying on back and moving hip up/down rotation does not increase your pain

Likely from the hip if:
-pain is in groin or occasionally outside part of hip around hip bone
-no low back pain along with the hip pain
-lying on back with back straight and moving only the hip around brings on your pain
-standing or jumping on leg increases pain or squatting gives pain in front of hip or twisting hip like putting on a sock in figure 4 position

And sometimes there can be both or one causing the other...

Though technically pain is always an output so “coming from” a region is a bit of a misnomer. Read more here for concepts that are really helpful, especially for persistent/chronic pain:

Modern pain science shows that pain is an unpredictable sensation thoroughly tuned by the brain and not as closely related to tissue trouble as most people assume. So can we think pain away? Probably not, but we may be able to influence it.

How many times a week do I need to walk to get a high in the brain and reduce pain for persistent/chronic symptoms? Listen to this short npr podcast.

If your shoulder hurts, it could be coming from your neck. Here’s how to know:

It is neck pain if:
-shoulder pain increases or neck feels stiff when turning head to look over left or right shoulder
-pain is in back of shoulder (shoulder blade)
-moving your arm overhead does not increase pain
-you have numbness or tingling or pain shooting down arm toward hand

It is shoulder pain if:
-moving arm overhead or bringing hand behind back increases pain
-pain is on side of outside shoulder (over deltoid)
-looking over shoulder by turning neck does not feel stiff or increase shoulder pain
-pain does not shoot down arm past elbow
-aching pain versus burning pain

If you have questions about your problem, don’t hesitate to send a pm.
