Good idea: The best Dr. to see would be an Orthopedic Dr. who trained in diseases of the joints/bones. There may be simple medications, therapy, injections, etc. that can help you meet your goals of recovery. Good luck.

Pain deep inside both hips only experience when sleeping. Ortho said PT for weak hip muscles. I disagree & think bursitis.Do less cardio but persists.
