thanks for posting! thats exactly it! no one gets just how painful it is. ditto with the bath or hot shower.
I have been dealing with the same exact pain that you are experiencing since I was about 4 years old, I am now 29. It is usually in my thighs and hips and like yours, it feels like it is a bone ache rather than something to do with muscles. It would always happen at night when I was a child, I would wake up screaming in pain, my mom would give my tylenol and use a heating pad and that always seemed to help it....if it got really bad I would take a really hot bath too. The dr's always told my mom it was growing pains and possible overuse. I always have to keep some sort of anti-imflammatory with me b/c it happens on a daily basis and has only worsened through the years. I seem to get it if I walk to much or sit too much and it hurts so bad. It never just goes away on it's own, I always have to take something for it and my heating pad is literally my bestfriend! I just don't understand how after all these years I still have this problem and the fact that it is getting worse scares me. I hope someone one here can shed some light as to what it could possibly be. None of my friends or family ever understood, they always thought it was just a charlie horse in my leg or hip but it feels nothing like that. It is such a deep ache and it does feel like it is in my bones. Keep me updated, it's nice to know that someone else has experienced the same pain as I have since such an early age!
