From early 2019 - April 2025 I had chronic pain in my right glute medius that would (starting in 2021) every ~2 months extend into the whole back and become so bad that I couldn’t move at all at night and with great pain during the day.
I tried a lot of reasonable interventions. I did a lot to strengthen the glutes and glute medius, but the flare-ups would still come (with less fury). I started seeing a chiropractor who suggested putting lifts in my left shoe which also helped and seemed like the correct intervention since if the lift was too high I’d get pain in my left glute medius. The flare-ups would still come though and I figured it would just be part of my life.
Okay it’s been 6 months.

I can’t believe this worked.
