Hip Problem

[Brakk]

My topic was not listed because I do not have a question about hip replacement, only about my left hip.  My hip began hurting when I was pregnant at age 40.  It has given me pain on and off now for 9 years.  It has gotten so bad that I walk with a limp now.  I finally went to the doctor.  He did an xray and said everything looks fine and called it bursitis.  He sid I have bursitis in both hips but my right hip never hurts. After a cotizone shot I was fine for two months.  Then I went back because the pain was back and I limp again.  He gave another shot and this one did nothing.  I continue to be in pain, walk with a limp, and if I do the stretches it is much worse the next day.  I can hardly walk.  The past year I have had what I consider unrelated symptoms - my left hand shakes uncontrollably sometimes and when I type I have trouble controlling my little finger at all.  And also at night I wake up to find I am drooling (which has never happened before this year).  Someone suggested to me that I might have nerve damage.  I have given up on the orthopedic doctor.
