I have been struggling with this for about a year, and I don’t know what else to do. I have a persistent sensation on the right side of my hip/glute area. It feels like there is a deep knot inside. Sometimes it also feels like tiny needles or tingling in that exact spot. Throughout the day, I often unconsciously breathe out with a long “pfff”, as if my body is trying to release something. Someone suggested it might be related to liver qi (chi), but I don’t know if that is true. The knot sometimes becomes lighter or less tense, but it never completely goes away. It has been present almost every day for the past year. Whenever I take a deep breath in, I often hear clicking or popping in my ears, similar to the pressure changes you experience while diving, driving up a mountain, or during a flight. I have already tried: - Craniosacral therapy. - Reiki. - Medical examinations, including an ultrasound. My doctor couldn’t find anything abnormal. - A 36-day “Feel Safe” meditation program. - Breathing exercises, including box breathing (4-4-4-4), 4-6-8 breathing, 6-6 breathing, and breathing techniques using long “beeee” and “woooo” sounds. None of these approaches has made the knot disappear. At times it feels slightly better, but it always comes back. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar or has expertise in this area. I feel like I’ve tried so many things, and I’m still searching for answers. Please help me.
