It would appear that maybe the hip flexors

are the major part of the problem? In the absence of joint pain or a

loss of range of motion (which might indicate a problem with

positioning of the femoral cap and acetabular cup producing some

impingement on anterior flexion of the hip and leg)it may simply be a

lower back issue involving the psoas, or one of the predominant quads

with contribution of some of deep addcutors.

You obviously know what you're talking about because you've summarized the

conclusions of my Hellerwork therapist, another massage therapist, and Mr.

Treacy. I don't believe there's any problem with the positioning of the

prosthesis

because my flexibility is better than it ever was even before my 1973

" injury " which precipitated the pain. Thanks so much for your insights.
