A medical question. (page 2)

Hortensia

I have trochanteric bursitis -- it has been going on for about two years now, although the dr. said it would go away in a few months. Wakes me up at night and I turn over to the other side. I have it in both sides. I'm not sure how, but it showed in the x-ray. That pain is more on the outside of the hip. If you feel it deeper inside, it could be sciatica, arthritis, or a very tight piriformis muscle.

Do you exercise ? Stretch ? Yoga is good for joints. Do you have proper shoes?

Do you eat oils like olive oil ?? Do you take calcium and Vitamin D ?

Do you smoke ? Do you have one leg shorter than the other ? Have

you ever gone to a chiroprator ? Physical therapist ? Had a massage ?

Do you sit a lot ? Are you 30 or 40 pounds overweight ? Do you do any

kind of movement like swimming ? Yoga ? so many possible causes.

My husband had pain in his hip,and after all the testing found out it was refered pain from lower back area which is the actual problem . The discs in his lower back are wearing down and causing pressure on nerves which in turn refers to pain in hip and sometimes numbness in his feet .

the surgeon showed me a X ray slide (I hope it was NOt mine) of the deterioated connection in my right hip/walking joint. He answered my question why my LEG/thigh hurt, when my hip-joint is starting to fuse, with the explanation, that unlike our finger nerve-endings, the lower ones are imprecise. ( now I know why certain pleasures originating there go all the way to the toes).

seriously I feel with you in your pain, and hope you and all find out how we can manage that, and will go without agony.

I highly recommend the book "The Tender Point Therapy Workbook". It tells you how to treat every area of the body yourself. I have an arthritic knee, which has been bothering me for a few years. The book shows you where you might have tender spots in every area of your body. It's not that it fixes the arthritis, but many times them muscles in the area affected by the arthritis become tender and painful. If you can find these spots, which can be quite small and hard to find, you can massage them which deactivates them and relieves the pain.

Not a replacement for a doctor, but a helpful addition if you have muscle pain in addition to joint pain.

Thank you SOOO much for all your input. I love you guys.

Snare, thanks for your input. I was gonna send a PM but I didn't want to pressure you but you read my mind and there we go. Thank you.

It's an achey pain, kind of like a deep muscular thing. It seems to ease off when I'm on holiday or last summer, for instance, when we had a heatwave.

Going to the Doc's Monday, so I'll let you know what he says.

Thanks again.

Have a great weekend all of you. XX
