See dietitian: Congratulations on being so health conscious. The person to best address your question would be a dietitian. I suggest your doctor put in a dietary consult for you.

Accepted Answer

: Sometimes we refer to the hip as the joint that allows you to pick up your leg in 3 directions, and sometimes you notice a dip when you take a step which comes from a pelvic joint in back of your hip ( the sacroiliac joint).  An osteopathic physician or musculoskeletal physician can examine this to answer your exercise questions, or what you call "straining" .  Don't worry, get checked.
