Re: Advice on hip problems

[Guest guest]

Sorry Fran,

I can't help. My problem with the thigh is at the back. Hopefully someone

will be able to.

Good luck,

Hi Fran,

I hate to be a bearer of bad news but I went a year with this pain

before my right hip finally broke. I went to my GP because it got so

bad I could barely walk and get out of chair and he sent me to PT-I

think it made it worse and cause it to break. I can remember the PT

person sitting on my hip and pulling because they thought it was my

quad muscle-thinking of the now gives me the shivers. I had to walk

with crutches and was in so much pain even with pain medication.

That was in the Fall of 2001-Feb. 2002 my hip broke-it snapped before

I hit the floor!! I am now having the same pain in my left hip-so I

know that pain. I hope this isn't your problem. They couldn't find

any problems on x-rays, MRI, bone scan, etc. I was angry when I

finally broke-all my GP could say that it was an injury!! Duh!!

Sorry, God Bless, Sue in Michigan.

Hey Fran,

I'm just catching up on a backlog of messages and I just wanted to say I have no

advice or experience with this, but I hope you're able to get to the bottom of

it ~ soon!

Dear , thanks for the well wishes, but I have to ask...Did you mean to

say " get to the bottom " of this concerning my hip problem? lol. If you did,

thanks for the laugh and if you didn't, thanks for the laugh anyway...lol.

Take care and have a good Halloween...Love, Fran
