Hi there,

When I first read your post, I thought of the hip as well. Right up there in the groin - luckily it sounds as if it's better. I often have spells of this and it isn't any fun at all!

Luckily, my dog is pretty easy to walk - a brown lab - my problem with him is that he loves running around with other dogs. This past winter, he hit me from behind and down I went. Had to walk 3 km. with a broken wrist. I was not pleased with him but he looks so apologetic that I couldn't stay mad at him for long.

What's really good about having a dog is that they need exercise...which means that I have to walk whether or not I want to.
