The Diagnosis? I'm a Stiff-Necked (and Hipped) Person


It has been a few weeks now since I visited a doctor for the pain in my foot that I thought was posterior tybial tendon dysfunction. So here's what's happened since then.

The doctor acknowledged the pain in my foot, but her diagnosis was a misaligned hip. Apparently, my hamstrings are super tight, one side pulling one side of my hip away so that my hip isn't parallel to the ground. This results in my right shoulder dropping lower than my left shoulder, and also all my weight naturally resting on my left foot. Hence all the pain in my left foot. I'm basically stiff and inflexible physically as well as mentally!
