In high school I was informed that the tendons in my hips are slightly too long, and that this would cause me issues down the road. It has now caught up with me. Ended up being referred to an orthopedic specialist. Went to see them and told them hip pain. They did an X-ray of my lower back and brushed my hip pain off as being caused by my issues in my lower back and me being a smoker. This doesn't make any sense to me.
