This is a little description of my near constant hip pain. I like to think of it in terms of the Blondie song ‘Heart of Glass’.
Once I had a ….life…………..
Soon found out I have hips of glass!
In between………..
My torso and my pelvis with my twisted thigh….
Once I had a ……….
Soon turned out it was a pain in the ass. ( yes quite literally!)
ooh oh ooh oh, it hurts!
I can’t help it, this song just always springs to mind when my hip is at its worst. Of course younger readers will no doubt know the Miley Cyrus version of the song.
It’s that heavy weighted feel that overwhelms, with each step a cracking sensation as hairline fissures shoot through my hips of glass, I am just one step away from absolute agony as my hips implode into shattering, chattering, splintering shards that stab and skewer through my legs. Each careful footfall pre empts the empty glass bowl about to hit the solid ground with a mighty smash.
It can be a terrifying feeling that you are about to disintegrate and so I think of this song and visualise youth and freedom and fun, I let the tears of pain roll and I survive.
