I am entirely a non-touchy feely guy. I ate Ibuprofen. I believe in doctors. But this worked for me. If someone has had surgery I don't try and tell them- they don't want to hear. But if you are headed in that direction it is worth the read. Basically, for a month or so you need to fight through the pain. Do everything you want to do, and "argue" with your brain.
edit- there is some issue your brain wants you to avoid confronting, so it gives you pain so you think about that. The solution is to think about the problem(s) when the pain comes. Eventually your brain realizes it is not achieving its goal.

Is he just back? I'm pretty sure my hip thing is a strain. And physical therapy/chiropractor seems to be working very well. Not yet 100%, but closer to 80% or so, and it was keeping me up at night a month and a half ago.
I'm woo-woo enough to meditate the pain away, bu when sitting cross legged for meditation hurts, it's hard to focus on other things.
