Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your last answers to my hip pain question. So sorry to hear of how difficult this is for most of you too.

I am sort of confused about something and I would like to know what you all think. I have significant back and hip pain, but my x-rays didn't show any problems, nor did my MRI of my back, so I can't understand where my pain is coming from. I have been really having difficulty getting a hold of my doctor to speak to her directly. I am going to just make an appointment with her so I can speak to her. Anyway, do any of you have really bad pain but it doesn't show on the x-rays? I sort of feel upset that I am in all this pain and I can't see anything tangible to explain it. This can't be all in my head, my knees grind and crack and are quite painful (knee x-rays showed arthritis, but worse on left knee, I have terrible stabbing hip pains, my back locks up and I can barely move at times, and my neck often is too stiff and painful to turn. All they are giving me for pain is Aleve. I know that this might be because I crohns disease too, and they are afraid of bleeding. (I also have GERD.)

I would appreciate hearing what your experiences have been and to know what you think of my situation.

Thanks for your help!
