Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I walked up a hill and hurt my hip a bit. Then I got excited and jumped around dancing later that night, and BAM. Hip has hurt for 4 days now (as in, hobble-walking), and considering my track record, will now hurt just slightly until I die and doctors will have no fucking idea why.
In my experience, persistent joint pain can be mitigated by working the muscles that pad that joint.
Consider doing some yoga or basic tai-chi that will stretch the region that is in pain. As you move through forms and poses you will figure out which muscle or muscle group needs to be strengthened and you will find movements that work it.
I've got some gnarly arthritis so my joints are always inflamed. Yoga helps me to keep the muscles strong enough to power through the inflammation without pain, though with arthritis it always hurts a little 🥲
Thanks for the advice. I actually do yoga and am permanently doing Physical Therapy for my other hip (since doctors said there’s nothing physically wrong with it), so I guess I’ll just keep at it. I also have to remember to actually rest the area when it’s so injured that I’m limping… 😅
