Lower back or hip pain that generates to the thigh area

[Debbie St. Ange]

For about two years now I began having pain in my hip area, and around the end of my spine.  It is not a sharp pain, rather dull and strange.  There are time when it feels as if my spine is separating at the hips if I stand too long. This pain also generates to the pelvic area.  Making a bowel movement is sometime a chore, because the pain is there.  Walking accessively brings on the pain in the hips and thighs.  Xrays have revealed inflamation in the lower spine area, which my doctor diagnosed as arthritis.  I have been put on anti inflamatory pain medication, This is a chronic conditions that never goes away.  I have notice that this discomfort lessens around the time for my period.  I will be 49 years old this year, and I am wondering does hormones have anything to do with this condition.  Please help.

My daughter (2 yrs. old) was diagnosed with Tenosynovitis.  What causes this....is there anything to be concerned about? The peditrician says it can be due to the ear infection she has which may have traveled to her hip.  Have you ever heard or this?? Any comments would be appreciated.

From a CT Scan shows L5-S1 paracentral disc herniation with narrowing of L neural formina due to boney hypertrophy. My dr. has discussed with specialist I am waiting for info. No one has explained fully what this means. Could you please elaborate for me so I know what everyone is talking about..!

My mother has had back pain, hip pain, and when she walks she sometimes drags her leg.  She has gone through every test out there and everythings shows up fine.  She is stressing out and need help.  The doctors she has been to say it is artheritis, but this all of a suden happened when she had her last surgery.  What else could this be.  I am her daughter and fell for her and see her in this pain and I can't even take it any longer.  I do not believe it is what the doctors say too.


Thanks karla
