This has been a problem for me for many years, chiropractors , drugs per scription and otherwise no help. inversion table helps allot.this kind of thing can be 4 to 8 weeks before it's healed ,if you take it easy and not injure . Anti-inflamatories a must, a tight lifting belt at all times a must,slip on boots a must, retrain your mind for each movement even when sleeping a must. example- putting on your pants.find a corner wall that you can lean on with the crack of your but to keep you stable as you slowly and carefully slide on one leg at a time without getting your toes stuck in a folded over leg. always sit straight , before you get up in the morning , wake up a little earlier lay flat ,raise knees , cross arms in a straight line and bump your but muscles until it feels right or pops. never make sudden moves. never use a cane it makes it worse. keep crutches around in .case you drop and cant walk . sometimes hanging on crutches can offer some relief. Good luck to you , I feel your pain. remember keep the swelling down ,anti- inflammatories and cold packs,no heat.
