Chronic Hip and Knee Pain

by jdymek, Oct 11, 2009 02:23PM
Last October I started having pain in my right hip. I went to go see a doctor and he recomended physical therapy. After a month of physical therapy my left hip started to hurt as well. I saw another doctor who recomended stretching for three months. I did this and my knees started to hurt. I saw another doctor and he recomended taking aleve three times a day for 6 weeks. The pain just got worse. I can't sit stand or lay down without being in pain. I'm only 18 so I don't think its arthritis. I also have lower back pain but that might be a result of an injury but I'm not sure. Please help I am in pain all day and untill I fall asleep.

Hello!

You should go for a proper diagnosis.

A X-ray and MRI would be helpful in diagnosing any problem in the spine. If you do not have any indication of spine problem then you should consult a rheumatologist.

Ruling out arthritis or any joint problem would be important.

Continue physiotherapy and take intermittent pain killers.

Take care!
