Inward Leg Rotation Relief Question

[Guest guest]

It's been a long road...but I came to a new realization today I want

to get your feedback on.

What I've known/been experiencing/discussed previously with DR:

1) When I try to stand straight and distribute my weight on the

affected side, I get searing pain in the anterior groin that

radiates " down and around " the top of the inner groin/thigh

connection (don't know the term for that part, sorry).

2) When I stick my butt out more, the pain is decreased some.

3) When I walk straight (aligned properly), snapping/popping/grinding

in the anterior groin occur, with very intense pain.

What I realized today because of the way I was standing and tried

walking:

1) When I rotate my leg inward (so the toes are facing inward and not

straight forward) I can distribute my weight without pain in the

affected side.

2) When I walk with my leg rotated inward, I do not get any

snapping/popping/grinding or pain.

3) The further the toes are aimed inward (so, maybe around the 10

o'clock position vs. and 11 o'clock position of the right foot) I

have the best results.

What would all this mean?! My hubby wants me to just walk like that

since I get relief, but I know that will make other things act

up/worse, so I'd rather stick to crutches vs. being malaligned.

HELP?!!?!?!?!? =) (please!)
