Ed Shigo felt the pain every time he followed through on his golf swing.
“I’m a right-handed golfer, and I have to put pressure on my left side every time I swing,” says the 62-year-old retired information technology analyst from Palmerton, Pa. “The pain in my left hip kept getting worse and worse.”
Shigo developed a limp that was similar to one of his golfing buddies. “They called us limpy and gimpy,” says Shigo. “It got to the point where I just couldn’t stand the pain anymore.”
