Hip, Hip... Not Hooray

Herself's right hip has taken umbrage of late at certain demands put upon it, in particular, things such as push-kicks and side-kicks and other routine tae kwon do movements.  It is frustrating, because she needs the movement and the exercise, and yet finds her hip quickly becoming painful each time.  She is not quite certain what the problem is, but she is sufficiently annoyed that she is actually contemplating making an appointment to see the doctor to discuss it.  Given her general dislike of appearing before medical professionals, that is a bit significant. 

She secretly hopes that if she ignores the problem long enough, it will go away. That never quite seems to happen, though, does it?
