Hip Pain

[Football3018]

Hi, I am 21 years old and have been suffering with Endometriosis for 10 years now (although I was diagnosed in 2021). I have been on Prostap injections and Tibolone HRT since July 2021 as previous to this I was wheelchair bound on 3 occasions due to the severity of the pain and nothing else worked. Prostap has been a life saver and has allowed me to live my life. However, in November I started to get really bad hip pain in my right hip, but it subsided after a few weeks and an x-ray and ultrasound was completed on it and nothing was found. Then a couple of weeks ago, it came back but this time it is not fading. I take naproxen and co-codamol however this doesn't fully relieve the pain and wears off quite quickly, leaving me in pain and unable to walk properly. I am on the waiting list for physio and have an appointment at the end of the month, but the pain is beginning to ruin everything again and I don't know what it could be or how to help it.

I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what this pain could be and why? Thank you in advance!

How were you diagnosed and do you know how severe your endo is/was and did you have surgery to excise it?

I was diagnosed through past surgeries and reactions to medication but I don’t know how severe my endo is unfortunately. I had a laraposcopy to remove the adhesions too.

Hiya, so I had something very similar. I was completely unable to weight bear due to the pain in my left hip. It turned out I had a fracture in the neck of my femur due to low bone density - I was 24 at the time, I’m wondering if you have anything similar? I saw and Endo post on hip pain the other day, let me try and find it for you xx

If you have Instagram, head to @endometriosissummit page, and it’s the 19 post back.

ahh ok, thank you so much! I am worried it’ll be due to low bone density, I had a Bone Density scan yesterday so hopefully it’d be picked up on that🤞 Thank you for the instagram post too!

Please don’t worry - it’s amazing you’ve had the scan, fingers crossed all is ok - and if not there’s treatment. Just try rest and trust they’ll find an answer and all will be ok ☺️ x

Yeh thank you! Just waiting for the results now because my GP won’t do anything to help - won’t even prestige any painkillers!

GP’s are so so useless at times 🤨 ☹️ so sorry. I hope the wait goes quickly for you ♥️
