Who would have thought?

Apparently I have BOWLERS HIP! I decided, before I descend upon a doctor and he tells me what I already know, I would put my symptoms on the web and see what the pannel of general doctors say. Every sport has its injuries and in my case playing lawn bowls seems to have given me a little pain in the left hip. (a very common injury in bowling) I noticed it a few weeks before we went to the National tournament but thought I had just overworked my gluteus maximus with all the bending. I had an anti-inflammatory shot and it went away for a while, but the last two weeks have been quite painful. So it seems it happens from overworking the joint, or arthritis or an injury - all can be treated and hip to be rested. So I am taking a week off my bowling and resting this HIP because I have BIG plans for it in the future. I still have a few hundred lighthouses to explore! Today is the first day of winter holidays for our school children in the southern hemisphere and I plan to have my grandsons around for a few days to spoil them. Have a sunshine day everyone!
