My husband and I use a product called "blue emu" it helps alot.  Also you need to start watching what you eat.  I'm very very arthritic and stay away from FAT, it totally swells the pain in my joints to unbearable.  It really works, trust me.  Also there is a product called MSM and it is a wood pulp derivative and works very well in elevating pain. Ive been at this game for some time now.  Follow all these steps and it should really improve your pain considerably.

Burning pain is almost always neurological. Do you have diabetes? If yes, it could be neuropathy. Does you left foot hurt worse than your right? You could have two separate things going on, that are unrelated. The hip and leg pain could be arthritis, sciatica, low back nerve impingement, or any number of problems. See another doctor. If the ones you have seen have not given you any kind of diagnosis, then keep looking until you find you who will get to the bottom of your problem, or if you really trust one of the doctors you have already seen, then go back to him. Tell the doctor what's going on and that you want tests to find out what's causing this problem, and if he can do the tests, you want a referral to a specialist. Good luck.

Since no one else has answered you, and I have had a similar injury, I thought I'd offer you my experience. I am not a medical expert, just a survivor. My injury was L3 L4, and the disc blew up! In other worded it was not your standard slipped disk. They could not do the laser surgery on me, partly because it was not yet approved but mostly because of the number of disk fragment sthat they had to remove. Prior to the surgery I spent 8 weeks flat on my back while they figured out what was wrong with me, i.e. orthopedics, medical and finally surgical. I had lost all use of my right leg, including the feeling from the hip down, and was starting to loose bowel function. They did the full laminectomy, and sent me home from the hospital the next day. I asked for PT or some kind of rehab but they refused. For the next five years I had to fight on my own to regain use and control of that right leg. For ten years I had a noticable limp. To this day there are certain movements I just cannot do. And the hip is still bad with rampant arthritis. Three years ago I had a relapse, and after the same surgeon did the x-rays and MRI's he said he could not do anything to help me, and that I no have spinal stenosis from L2 down. You should see how little bone mass there is in that picture. It's scary! Anyway, I went to my local gym who has a healthy back program, using Medx equipment. I rehabbed with that program, and am as functional now as I was 5 years after the surgery. If you have a program like that I would seriously check it out before agreeing to surgery. The program at my gym has prevented a lot of surgeries, and has an 85% success rate. They train surrounding muscle to support the bones, and carry the weight. We once trained a dog the same way who was born with hip dysplasia bad enough they wanted to put him to sleep in his first year. He lived to 17, and passed away as a result of an auto injury, not his hips.\nSorry this was so long but your husband needs to know there are options to surgery, and not just PT. Good luck and feel better. I do understand your pain and confusion.

Hi, I too have arthritis in both of my hips and my knees and my ankles and I am only almost 35. I was taking vioxx until they took it off the market. I know the pain that you are dealing with. I have tried every thing else that claims to aleviate the pain. I was only able to work 1 day on and one day off when i was working because when i did work 8 hours when I came home, I literally had to crawl on my knees I hurt so bad. I am so sorry that you are too in agony. I will tell you what I found that is the ONLY thing that has helped me. It is called Replenex. I get it through Melaleuca. It costs 9.99 for 90 tablets. You go to www.melaleuca.com or call 1-800-282-3000 and ask them for more information. This company has been around for 21 years so they are trust worthy and the products are good. Good luck, I hope you get this stuff, it is great.

Make sure to follow all of your doctor's directions for medication, etc.  It is a serious disease that causes continuing damage to your joints, which can only be prevented with prescription medication.\n\nThat aside, eating healthy and exercising is the next best thing - work with your doctor to find an exercise program you are comfortable with.  Water aerobics or swimming are great, and even just walking can make a big difference.\n\nVitamin supplements are unproven and generally don't have much effect.  There is very little evidence to support if any of these actually work.  But if you do want to try any of these, do it on top of your regular meds under the guidance of you doctor- don't take anything without consulting him first! They have lots more experience with this disease, and some supplements may actually react with some medications.\n\nNow you also need to deal with this mentally - the best way is to look to your family members for support.  But you can also go to http://www.arthritis.org and visit the RA connect section - they have a message board where you can get lots of emotional support from people who have gone through it too.\n\nGood luck with your treatment!

This could be an ileopsoas muscle strain or, as you suspect, a bursitis.  And the pain can indeed come and go.  It is possible for it to become a chronic condition when not rested /treated appropriately.\n\nBut! laying on a mattress, however 'terrible', is not likely to cause this injury.  (Though it may aggravate it, so wrecking your quality of sleep and rest....).\n\nIt takes time for a bursitis to form - and it is not at all unusual for \none to develop weeks, even months,after the original injury.\n(Which is why it sometimes seems to come 'out of the blue')\n It is a common sports injury, but may also be connected to excessive weight-bearing. or other forms of trauma.  (I see from a previous answer that you are just 27 yrs old...? sports injury)...\n\nPrimary care doctors are not good at diagnosing these kinds of problems - indeed they don't really want to, since the diagnostic tests involved are expensive (CT and MRI imaging) - and, when all is said and done, none of their patients ever die of pain!!\n\nMoreover,while patients are waiting for those tests, the problem frequently resolves itself.  \n\nTreatment is image-guided deep injection of steroids,but the success rate for this is only 50-60%.  (Surgery for very extreme cases).\n\nAn alternative diagnosis might actually be spinal problems - a herniated disk in particular - which can cause 'referred' pain to the hip and other structures.  However I would be willing to bet money that you have a bursitis - primarily because you identify the pelvic bone as a major pain site. (The ileopsoas muscle attaches to the pelvis).\n\nIn this condition, you are likely to feel OK when mobilising - but experience pain when you sit/ lay in a 'fixed' position.  You may also experience pain on internal rotation of the leg on the affected side.\n\nYou need 'Brufen' (Ibruprofen) for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.  And you need to rest for a bit with only gentle exercise.  \n\nIf you have a continued experience of pain - over several months - you will need to seek a definitive MRI scan of the pelvis - primarily to exclude spinal radiculopathy (nerve root involvement) and lumbar disk problems. But lets hope you won't need one and that it is a minor problem.  Its a 'wait and see', really.\n\nI really hope this helps you. Good luck.

Add Glucosamine to your diet supplements. I also had pain, mainly in my legs. I started taking Glucosamine and after about two weeks, I noticed that the pain went away completely.\n\nIt was a Godsend.\n\nIt's also cheap. There are several brands, some with Condroitend as well. But it's the Glucosamine that does the trick for you.

I know how you feel, I used to suffer from this problem but since i am an alternative medicinal therapist I've managed to control it. Now let's see if i can help.\nThere are many effective alternatives for this condition so be patient.\nThis condition is an erosion of a cartilage of a joint.The aged sometimes suffer from a dimished supply of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which is necessary for normal calcium metabolism. An effective substitute is 2 teaspoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water sipped before or during meals.\nAlternatives are: Black Cohosh and Meadowsweet(natural sources of salicylic acid) Hawthorn for blood circulation or Devils claw.\nCelery seeds = 1 tsp to one cup of boiling water, infuse for 15 mins. Half to one cup 2-3 times a day,before meals.\nDiet: Oily fish,low fat, low salt,high fibre.Avoid lemons and other citrus fruits.\nCod liver oil is very good for cartilage repair.Hot and cold compresses twice daily.Capsicum cream. Hot epsom salt baths twice weekly.\nThe list is endless, but your GP won't give you any information like this.They like to dish out painkillers instead.\nSuppliments: Pantothenic acid, 10mg of Vitimin A = 7500iu \nVitimin B6 25mg, Vitimin E 400iu: Zinc 25mg\nI can also give you recipes for aromatherapy oils but it's much to long for this page.\nIf you need any more information please contact me by e-mail 'alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk or tele 01843 588668.I'm always here.\n\nGloria j Jones )BSYA-SEN)

My husband has arthritis in his knees and hips from the same reason. Heating pads work for him at night, and aleve works for him during the day. The heating patches he wears to work and he swears by them. Winter makes it especially hard for him due to the cold weather so every night he takes a hot bath. At night we have the thermostat turned up to make our room warmer to ease the pain while he's sleeping...one simple rule of thumb...think heat because it will relieve the pain...as far as pills once again Aleve!

You need to go to a  doctor who deals with joint . You could have arthirist or rheumisism. Don't wait to long as it will get worse . Good Luck

Yes, and it hurts like hell! Just alternate heat and ice every 20 minutes, and it will help a lot. I did this by powerwalking. It takes a while to heal. My doctor put me in a walking boot so I could continue to walk. Just be patient!

Next time you try, close your eyes and take some long deep breaths and do a little self-examination to see if you can figure out the source of the problem.  Are you having trouble because your muscles are too tight?  That can be fixed with a little time and patience.  Or are you having problems with stiff and painful joints?  That will be a little more difficult, it may indicate arthritis or some other ailment that needs a doctor's care.\n\nIf it is just tight muscles, try a little beginner's yoga or some runner's stretching exercises.  In particular, focus on stretching and lenghtening calves, quads and hamstrings.  Failure to stretch these muscles to keep them supple can cause all kinds of posture and walking stride problems, with lower back, hip and foot and ankle joint weakness and injury as a result.

Basically your hips are externally rotated, and this is normal for a lot of people (myself included).  It's most likely  caused by the way your skeleton is put together, and in that case there is nothing you can do about it.  In some cases it is caused by tight rotator muscles in the hips, and this can be fixed by stretch the piriformis muscle (see link for stretch)
