Been a while since I posted.  Just thought I’d see if anyone else started experiencing a little pain and discomfort after about 9 weeks.  I seemed to be doing really well and now have weakness in my upper thigh and a bit of soreness on my hip itself.  I’m just wondering if this is normal for any others that had these symptoms.  What did you do to make it better.  It almost feels like it did in week 3, even though I’m able to walk without any assistance.  Thought it was all on the upswing, but now I feel like I’m going backwards.
