If my beloved Flamenco teacher had not passed away suddenly last summer, I may still be clapping my hands and stamping my feet, and unfortunately, injuring my hip joints and knees. Usually I feel stiffness and aches in rainy weather. That’s normal, I thought. With humid weather, barometric pressure drops and joints and bones swell. Over several years the movement of my left hip became limited: It was harder to reach my left foot, impossible to lift my leg to my chest. My chiropractor told me my hip joint was “bone on bone” and someday, when I could no longer stand the pain, it would require hip replacement surgery. Who has money for that? Twenty thousand or so?
