Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 > Yes I know what you are talking about , one thing I have trouble telling the differance between pain from my hips and my SI joints ? I have sever pain in my hips I think or thought but every time I complain to my rhumy and show him where he tells me no thats my SI joints and thats a bad place for RA or rather one of the places it hits hard frist , But theres never anything he can do for it and since i cannt tell the differance I wonder if you or any can give me a pointer on it Sorry, I meant to respond to this earlier but got behind on posts... For a long time I had pain in one of my SI joints, which are those knobs to the left and right of the lower spine. After many years of misdiagnosis, it turned out that it came from a couple of herniated disks, tho, it didn't have anything to do with the SI joints themselves. Only an MRI was able to show that. The RA pain in my hips, however, is completely different. It's basically in my groin on both sides. I thought hip pain would be on the sides of my body, but my rh told me that what I'm experiencing is definately RA related, as a matter of fact, when he does his joint tests, he lays me back on the table and presses down kind of " into " each side of my groin. Dunno if that helps, but I hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
