Arjun Das, a 58-year-old accountant and weekend gardener, felt a sharp, twisting pain in his right hip while lifting a heavy pot. Over the next week, the deep, aching pain and stiffness made sitting at his desk unbearable and walking with a noticeable limp. His orthopedic surgeon, after a physical exam and MRI, diagnosed a moderate hip sprain (a strain of the ligaments supporting the hip joint). The doctor recommended a conservative treatment plan: strict rest, ice, compression, and a course of physical therapy. Arjun felt frustrated and anxious, worrying this injury meant the end of his cherished gardening. The physical therapy was challenging at first, focusing on gentle range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. After 6 weeks of dedicated therapy, Arjun's pain subsided significantly, and he regained full mobility. He was emotionally relieved and proud, returning to his garden with renewed caution and a set of new, safer lifting techniques.
