I am so worried.....

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Sorry, but this is about myself ; I am VERY worried about something right now. There is a hard pain in both sides of my hips (in the joint??). This is making it almost impossible to stand up fast from a chair, or couch, and bending down to pick up a cat is out of the question too . I know I will need to take anti-inflammatory pills; but the problem here is that I am NOT allowed to take any medicine that thins my blood: I already take those, and my blood is very thin now.
I didn't sleep last night because I couldn't stand laying on my left side,nor on my right side. Sleeping on my back is out of the question because I snore then
I called a back-specialist this morning. I am lucky; someone gave up his appointment of 10.30 this morning; so I get it!!
Cross your tails and fingers for me please, I cannot take any more bad news now.....

I will update when I return back home!

here's hoping an adjustment helps you. not sleeping really stinks

I've started to have some flare ups of what I suspect is arthritis myself. I am referencing here an article about the anti-inflammatory properties of cherries. I eat the dried cherries and I do believe they provide some help for me.

Update

I went for X-rays today. That doc was NOT very "understanding"! She did NOT understand why some "poses" were hard and painful for me!! I know she doesn't feel what I feel, but she could at least be friendly
She will send the pics and comment to my back-doc. I will know more next week then....

[jenluckenbach]

I am sorry the xray doctor was not very understanding and sympathetic, but we will give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she might be having a bad day.

I hope the xrays show something that your back doctor can fix.

I hope they find something in the x-rays. Did they do a MRI as well?
I wish you the best of luck. I know it is a terrible pain!

[smokey the elder]

I hope they can find what's causing the pain and fix you up. Aren't there pain drugs that won't thin the blood? Can't you ask your doc about those?

[Randi]

Lut, I'm so sorry to hear you're in pain again. I do hope they'll find the cause and can do something for you!
