Trouble

[Purton]

Hi everyone this is bloody silly had X-rays done on my back and hip but the X-rays have come back borderline know that’s so confusing because I know I have arthritis in my hip back but what I don’t know why the pain is getting worse could it be because I am burnt and tight can that be something

Hello Purton ,

I'm sorry, I have a little trouble understanding your post. I understand that you had an x-ray but what does "coming back borderline mean"?

I also have arthritis in my hip. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for ten years now, but never in my hip, so this is new and very uncomfortable. Pain can really overshadow everything.

And again I apologise but what does "burnt and tight" mean?

I hope you are doing okay today.

Warm wishes,

Cas xx 🍁

I got 90 per cent burns and they are so tight I am thinking that the scar tissue is or could be playing a big part I don’t mind pain but when I am unable to do things ie go out simple things it gets me right down I haven’t been out for over week know due to pain

Scar tissue is not as elastic as ordinary skin, so that could be making you feel sore. What does the burns unit say where you were treated? Most people don't survive 90% burns.

I had two minutes to live I was in for a year and a half I did ask and what Peter the surgeon has said he’s going to do my arm and grone but he’s worried about doing anything else because of the pain I am in I have arthritis in my knee neck back and curpple tunnel in both hands

Oh, you poor thing! I suspect you will have tried all sorts of scar treatment creams, but there is one which has had very good reviews recently. Take a look at scienceofskin.com/product/s...

It might help your arthritis if you visited a physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor. They would be able to guide you in some exercises to improve your arthritic limitations while bearing in mind the restrictions caused by the scarring.

(((Hugs))) and well-wishes.

Thank you so much hugs hags back

Oh my goodness Purton . That is absolutely horrendous. As Ergendl has said, people do not normally survive what you have been through. She has given you good advice. It is so hard not to be able to get out of the house. Do you have any home help? I am really sorry you are in so much pain. Sending warm wishes. xx 🌷
