Fiberomyalgia

[Aleasha1975]

Why would my hip be hurting all the way down to my left knee i have been diagnosed with fiberomyalgia and restless leg syndrome but i don't know which is causing this it hurts to walk and sit in certain spots

It might be worth popping back to the GP with this one. It sounds quite like sciatica.

Do you know if you have some osteo arthritis in those areas? I have in my knee on the inside BUT its an area that has muscles meet that bone.. Perhaps your gp will take bloods to give you a proper diagnosis.. I get restless legs at night when I have spent a day lazing around (I watch far too much tennis) I alleviate this i will have a go at some stretching before i go to bed.

Hi NurseGladys

I have a meniscal tear, left knee. I was wondering if there are any non surgical non medication treatments as unable to have NSAIDS or steroids as on warfarin and have renal problems . Thanks

a meniscal tear usually needs a menisectomy (look under a scope) it can be done with a spinal IF the orthopod and his an anaesthetist will agree this is to see how bad the tear is andf if it will mend in time or needs intervention- they usually ask for permission to inetrvene whilst you are there,, beware approx up to weeks rest after-off your feet

I have had terrible hip pain for 12 months. I had an x ray which showed arthritis in them but also I have extremely inflamed bursa.had a guided steroid injection in it last month but only gave me relief for a week or so.

I can't lie on my side at night as the pain is like a knife drilling through and the pain travels down my leg.awaiting an appointment at hospital in April in hope of some relief on top of the fibromyalgia I feel like a 90 year old instead of 54. Hope you find some relief soon xx

Because Fibro has no rules. One of my first symptoms, looking back 20 years, was a pain in the bottom....I call it my saddle area. I would use a heat pad and suppository. I still get it if I stand or walk too long. I wish I had written a pain log starting then but just didn't. I didn't know what it was

[applesandoranges21 in reply to grandmama16]

Hi I have saddle numbness too. May I ask you what drug was in the suppository please. Many thanks. xxx

Possibly iliotibial band which stretches from the hip to the knee - depends where the pain is. Worth going back to GP if it persists - not everything is fibro, and I believe this can often be treated with physio.
