Thanks for the response kstar.  I have been to the doctor since February and all they have done is prescribed medication that hasnt even helped.  They also suggested I try to strengthen my back.  Rolling out my hips and lower back seems to offer some temporary relief and I am on the second week of a three week break from the gym in order to get this sorted out.  I have been working on myself for about 15-30 minutes a day, I just need to put together a plan because I am really just guessing or trial and error.  I really want to get my mobility back to the way it used to be. 

I just want to make sure that I am working on the right parts.  My pain I can feel all the time is in my hips (front crease) and lower back at the base of the spine.  Sometimes my quads are really tight and the top of my knees sore.  Any specific pages in the book I should be looking at?
