Hip Pain & Eating Disorders
by snowwolf, Feb 18, 2008 09:45AM
Hi,
Im 30yr old female, been diagnosed with an eating disorder for several years now. Strated off as Bulimia, then became Buliorexia, then Anorexia... and now im Bulimic with Anorexia thoughts and behaviours! I really dont think the professionals know what i am! lol
I restrict my intake to around 200k.cal a day - have been for about 3months now. Ive been diagnosed with anemia, low blood pressure (that dips as i get up), underactive thyroid... and now ive got a problem with my heart as it has palpitations which causes me dizzy\feinting spells. So im on beta-blockers, anti-depressants and thyroid tablets daily.
My main reason for posting is lately i've been having constant aching pain in my hips ---> sounds daft but its like intense bone pain that happens in both hips at the same time and lasts for hours before going away! It starts any time of the day etc and sometimes it keeps me awake at night with the ache, as no change of position etc will help clam\ease the pain. It's happening more frequently now, nearly every other day.
I dont want to go to my GP with yet another illness symptom - as i cant face another lecture on eating habits etc and i dont think my hip pain is related to it.
Does anybody have any idea on what this hip pain is and how to ease it???
Thanks
