Is there anyone who knows how to use a foam ball for the muscles?

I have a problem on my left knee (torn meniscus) that's why I put on weight on my right side, and because of the tension my hip is aching. From a person who does fitness, I learnt that foam rolling helps relaxing the muscle. I have the foam ball, so how do I use it for my hip?

Foam rolling helps, but not that much. It's more relaxing sore muscle, what you need is recovery. Doubt rolling would help.

for my left knee, I need to get it checked on the MR again, to see the situation of the torn. Literally, I tore it, and we went from hospital to hospital for a month for the diagnosis and once it came they said surgery and then my family just said, no surgery and we just left it there. In the end, my left knee hurts. I have no clue what is going on there, my right hip is aching through the top and bottom because I am putting the tension there and the ache is constant for almost 4 years now. My family didn't want me to recover and I was only 15 at the time I tore it. So no recovery, I need a d*mn relaxation!

You really need to see a doctor. nothing really gonna help.

I don't know hoe to recover, my family prevented me from recovering so yeah. I pretty much need to reduce that d**mn thing. I know I don2T see the big pic here but it is better than doing nothing

Try yoga for knee. Youtube it. That might help. But if something needs surgery, yoga still won't fix it. I'm sorry to see you suffer life this. :(

My family is not. They think I exeggarate it. Bu tnope, my pain is really. I went to fitness too and it didn't work so I know that exercise on left won't help, I can not lose right side too!
