stiftnes of the upper hips and joint
hi I was enquiring about a ongoing problem I have had for year’s as I was born with “clicky,hips” as I am only 30 years and feel the pain has increased drimatically this past year. I did go to my pysician and he gave me a shot of qauterzone in my left hand side of my bone marrow,only he did say that when it wheres off to go back ,even tho im not a great fan of needles I must say that it done the job for a little while then my other hip started to play up, so I went back and he refused to do anything for me I was clearly not happy so I was wondering is there anything I can do to relive the pain through creams or pysio . I work 30 hrs a wk on my feet and have 4 boys so that probebly doesn’t help matters, but if you could advise me it would be much appreciated thankyou.

I am not sure why your MD refused to treat you with cortazone, there are different limits in each situation as to how many shots you can have per a period of time (usually 3 within 6 months or so). Also that treatment can have side effects due to you not feeling the pain. Were any X-rays taken? If so did they notice any change in the bone structure of the hip joint? If not it may be a change in the cartilage of the joint, it does wear away but at 30 this doesn’t sound like that. A thing to watch out for is doing to much once a treatment like this is done is. Since you don’t feel as much pain you may do more than your body is capable of. Maybe a second opinion from an MD or orthopedist would be a good idea. But it wouldn’t hurt to get checked out by a DC as well. The hip joint is pretty complex and takes a lot of stress so that is why I am concerned about degenerative changes.
