I am so worried.....

[Laura's Babies]

My Mama always said the ONLY thing that don't hurt as you get old is your HAIR! I am finding she is right! Pains comes suddenly out of nowhere and hurts for days, then go away...... sometimes.. I got up one day from lunch and BOTH of my knees felt like they were "rusty joints".. That was about 4 years ago and they have HURT like Heck ever since! If I don't take Aleve every day, I can hardly bend them for the pain. I hope your solution is as easy as mine. 1 Aleve a day and that is IT!

awww Lut How frustrating for you! I am sorry youi have this new pain to worry about and bother you right now. Did the doctor suggest it might be sciatica?? That is inflammation of the sciatic nerve that goes up the leg, through the hip joint and around to the butt....it is very painful when it flares up - makes the hip feel weak and can make pain shoot down the leg....if so - there are stretching exercises for this. I know they still have to rule out other problems. I hope you will get some answers and maybe some relief my friend!

((((HUGS)))) to you

[Anita Cholaine]

I'm so sorry.... Fingers and paws crossed... Hope everything goes better...

Lut, how are you?? I hope that the pain meds are helping some. Heck, check into Rachel's cherry remedy! That sounds like a wonderful suggestion to me that doesn't involve medication!

Update us when you can.

I'm sending tons of good thoughts your way.

I had someething similar happen just a couple months ago with one of my hips. It ended up being tendonitis. It was extremely painful to move, especially going from sitting to standing or vice-versa.
If you need anything, to talk or whatever om or emial me. Good luck sweetie!

He he, that describes the pain exactly!! When I try to get after being on my pc during 30 minutes, it hurts like hell . I hope they can help me with this! The biggest problem is again that I just cannot take ANY medicine: this is because I take bloodthinners, and lots of meds also make blood thinner. This would be very dangerous for me, as my stomach might start bleeding, and before I would realize this, it would be to late! I am soscared to be involved in a car accident now, because by the time they get me to the hospital, I would bleed to death . So, I attached a message to my ID, saying "THIS PERSON IS TAKING BLOODTHINNER "Marivan"!

Gosh, Lut, the one thing you did not need - is unexplained pain. I hope that the Dr. will be able to pinpoint the problem and find a good solution for you.

Don't you just love getting older? So many surprises that you weren't counting on!

I send you a big hug and hope that you will be feeling better soon.

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.

[lv4dogs]

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!

[prechrswife]

I just saw this thread. I hope the x-rays will show what is going on and that you are feeling better very soon.
