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.

I need help.  I am 43, very active, excellent bp 110/70 heat rate 60.  I've always exercised, bike/aerobic/dancing/ice skating.  I started kickbox aerobic 10/99, mid Nov I hurt my lower back pruning bushes.  The pain subsided to almost nothing.  Then on 12/15 I thought I first had the flue

I have had problems with my legs for 2 or 3 years now; numbness and tingling in both legs while sitting or lying down. I have a headache every other day, sometimes 2 or 3 days in a row. My head starts to pound upon standing. I fell down the stairs in April of 2000, I went to the er and found out that I have several different abnormalities of the 5th lumbar disk. The doctor said that he didn't think the fall had caused it but that it had been that way for a long time. They didn't tell me exactly what was wrong but I was wondering if this could be the cause of the problems with my legs? If so what should I do?
