My Hip Hurts

My hip hurts and it hurts bad. It’s not cancer. That’s the first thing that always goes through my head. In the triage of physical “issues” I always come up short. I don’t know if this is sciatica or a torn muscle or a pulled hamstring but I know that it hurts --and I know it is not cancer. But does that cancel it out? Am I allowed to have illness/injury/discomfort/pain? Do I get to whine? Complain? Worry? Get medical help? My hurting hip is not cancer and not fatal but it’s mine, and it hurts bad.
