I have DDD and also myofascial pain syndrome. On my left hip there has been a knot there for years. I do have to wear a Flector patch daily or else it is horrible pain. The knot seems to mess with my left leg at times. My left leg is very weak and even a year ago i fell and broke my left ankle. I am fed up with having to sit certain ways because if not I feel like i am sitting on a rock. It does not move around and feels hard. any advise?
