I too suffer from excrutiating pain in my upper left thigh. I have been transported by ambulance twice in the last two weeks to the emergency room. I was sent to an othopeadic surgeon which couldn't find the root of the problem. He referred me to a specialist at Emory University hospital. My appointment is March 26. I take Vicodin around the clock. I live in fear of another attack. There is no warning. When the pain comes, I screem to the top of lungs, no matter where I am. Hopefully, the Specialist will find the problem.
I, too have your same synptoms-hip, groin, thigh pain. But, I also have leg pain and foot pain. Been through all the MRI's, X-rays, chiropractor, pain clinic, podiatrist, neurologist, etc. I have mild deterioration of the hip socket and plantar fasciitis. I also have a heel spur and collapsed vertebrae in my back. All doctors tell me it sounds worse than it is. None are willing to send me for any surgery - not bad enough. I can barely walk! Worse in the morning and then after a long time on me feet. If you get any answers, please share. Thanks. I was taking an antiinflamatory medication that seemed to help quite a bit, but I had to cut back due to the side effects. Fortunately, I have not experienced any of them yet.
Thanks for the kind words. I understand what you are going through. Hopefully we will both pull through this. The only thing that actually relieves the pain for me is a long, hot bath...with bubbles of course ;-) It is only temporary. The pain always comes back when I get out, but unfortunately I cannot live life in a bathtub lol. Maybe that will help you too. Keep up that great spirit and get to feeling better!
Well I do feel your pain. I am sorry that you're having so many problems getting a diagnosis. I don't have any other ideas to look into but I can say that I too have had hip, groin and buttock pain for about 1 1/2 years now. I have done many different tests with different doctors but they have no answers for me either. It can become pretty depressing. Only recently I started to swim again. Of course the day after swimming, I am in really bad shape but I do what I can and then wait about 2 more days and then swim again. It feels good to be doing something.
All I can offer to you is something that helps me. Every night before I go to bed, I write down what I am thinking about. No matter what it is, whether it's my frustrations from not being diagnosed or being able to find anything that can help, to just being happy that I had an okay day. I have not had a single day without pain in my 1 1/2 years. It seems to help me sleep for at least a consistant 4 hours...then i'll get up, move around and then lay back down. I do believe that the pain that you are in is what keeps you tired, as I am exhausted all the time. Just imagine what happens when I go swimming, and the next couple of days after that.
I wish you all the luck in the world. Stay as positive as you can. I find it more fun to pick on my pain than anything. What's even better is that I "wobble" everywhere, so I get a kick out of that too. Some would just call me dilusional. LOL.
Take care of yourself and enjoy everyday as it comes and goes...
Hello,
How are you?
Although many of the possibilities for lower back and hip pain have been ruled out,I’ll list the possibilities which can be related to it.They are ankolysing spondylitis , mulifocal fibrosclerosis,spinal stenosis,arthritis,Paget’s disease of the bone, and multiple myeloma.
Pls check out these possibilities and rule out the ones which already have been investigated.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
