🌊 Beach Walk or Boardwalk—Which Does Your Hip Prefer?

A Southwest Florida beach morning might mean searching for shells, taking a long walk along the water, or simply enjoying the Gulf view.

But when hip discomfort enters the picture, even a relaxing outing can start to feel like an endurance test. Pay attention to which surfaces and distances feel manageable—and whether hip pain is beginning to change your plans.

If discomfort is keeping you from enjoying the places you love, talk with Dr. David E. Eichten, DO, about what you’re experiencing and the activities you want to return to.

📍 What’s your favorite waterfront spot: Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, or Bonita Beach?

⛳ Is hip discomfort changing your golf swing?

Southwest Florida golfers—have you started shortening your swing, skipping holes, or turning down a round because your hip feels uncomfortable?

Those changes are worth talking about. At your appointment with Dr. David E. Eichten, DO, explain which movements bother you, where you feel discomfort, and whether it happens during your round or afterward.

You don’t need to know what’s causing the pain before asking for help. Start with a conversation about getting back to the activities you enjoy.

🦵 Where does your knee hurt?

Pain in the front, inside, outside, or back of the knee can offer useful clues—but location alone cannot provide a complete diagnosis.

Swelling, stiffness, instability, activity level, physical examination, and imaging may all play a role in determining what is causing your discomfort.

Swipe through this guide to learn more, save it for future reference, and schedule an orthopedic evaluation with Dr. David Eichten if your knee pain keeps returning or interferes with the activities you enjoy.

Why Does My Hip Hurt When I Sleep on My Side?

If hip pain keeps waking you up when you roll onto your side, your sleeping position may not be the only issue. Pain on the outside of the hip can sometimes be related to irritated tendons or inflammation around the joint, while pain felt deeper in the groin may point to the hip joint itself.

Try placing a pillow between your knees and avoid sleeping directly on the painful side. If the discomfort regularly interrupts your sleep or continues during the day, it may be time to have your hip evaluated.

Don’t let hip pain steal a good night’s sleep—or keep you from doing what you enjoy.

Your first rally shouldn’t be your warm-up! 🏓

Before stepping onto the pickleball court, spend five minutes preparing the muscles that support your knees and hips:

🚶 Brisk walking
↔️ Gentle side steps
🦵 Controlled leg swings
⬆️ Calf raises
🏓 Easy practice swings

A short warm-up cannot prevent every injury, but it can help your body prepare for the quick starts, stops, and pivots pickleball demands.

Save this routine for your next match—and send it to your pickleball group chat!
