As snowplough said I am the one who fell off the ladder which did not help as I have arthritis in my left hip anyway. Managed to ski last year but was in pain all the time and taking 3 x 600ml ibuprophen each day to get me through. Last year in august the pain was getting that bad I was considering a hip replacement.By chance a freind said why not try acupuncture at which I laughed but did decide to try it.

Have been skiing once this year already and have not taken any pain killers at all since I started going for tratment and am going skiing again for 10 days in two weeks time. While it may not be everybodys cup of tea I can certainly say as far as I am concerned my fortnightly treatments are the best thing I have ever chosen to do.
Things are looking up all round Jim! Pretty sure it is just a pull as it feels much better today. Was starting to dread the thought of so much snow + having to sit and watch.
