If it hurts this much now, after only moderate strain, I'm gonna be a chronic pain patient a few years from now. Now, it's probably unavoidable that that's gonna happen at *some* point, but I'd rather it be, say, when I'm fifty than when I'm forty. There have to be things I can do to take care of my hip so it doesn't deteriorate too quickly. (The doctor I saw last week only gave me a piece of paper with some exercises I should do every day, and told me not to walk "too much", and that was that.)
