I had this in my waist area about twenty years ago. It was from coughing too

hard. The doctors finally found I had a hairline fracture. I had to learn to

be very careful. Caro.

Yea, I'm thinking now that she has hairline fractures. Mike says they don't

show up on the xray until later, and I learned the same thing on the web.

We are at least treating it like they are broken. No harm in that.

Actually I'm just gonna take back to her GP now. Just got an appt.

It's really bothering her.

Plus, she has been bruising a lot lately. She has this small bruise - well 2 of

them side by side, and yesterday, they were above her hip bone. Now, they are

about 5 inches below her hip bone.

Very strange.

The GP told me a few weeks ago, that she may send her to an oncologist. God, I

hope everything is ok.

How scary.

I'll let you know what happens when we get back.

Hugs,
