I think my injuries and susbequent rehab takes the cake and proves that there are not "legs" and "backs" and "hips" there is a body - one very interconnected body. Turns out that my knee hurts because my quads are tight and my tight quads are pulling one side of my pelvis down which is then in turn pulling on my adductors which irritates my piriformis muscles which then shut down my glutes so that I can't contract them to stretch my quads properly! That all then creates back pain from an anterior rotated pelvis which herniated a disc in my back which created sciatica which was then irritated by the tight piriformis muscles. I am now retraining my abs to hold my pelvis in the right place so that my glutes will contract so that I can stretch my quads so that I can loosen up my piriformis and take the pressure off my back and knee. WHEW! And all of this might be because on leg is just millimeters shorter than the other.
