Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2007for the women of the group
This is rather personal to write, but I need to find some advice. I have Ra and have lately been having trouble with the right hip joint and it shots down to the knee and then the ankle. I ran a race a week ago and it flared it up so much that my hip was really swollen. I have been on prednisone along with the ra meds I take. I recently have been in a relationship that is great, but we seem to have sex quite a bit and I am wondering if that is flaring up my hips, it is a rather personal question but the motion of the hips and all it was doing better yesterday and then about a half hour after I noticed that the muscles in the leg were all stiff this morning it hurts across the hip down the outside of the knee and the muscles along the hip, have any of the women here had this experience at all. Thanks Becky Becky......stop running! ;) Gloria > This is rather personal to write, but I need to find some advice.

I have decided maybe I should just be alone and that would solve one issues and then just learn not to be as active or different sports anyway. It is sure hard to go form someone who was an avid athlete to this very hard to deal with. thanks, Becky > Becky......stop running! ;) > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> Thanks >> Becky > Gloria, > I have, but I am not sure that is what caused it, it didn't help it, but [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thanks, > Becky Then there was the person that had a question here about what they could do to help their situation and continue to do big time skiiiiing. Bad knees, bad hips,,,, not a thought in his mind that those activities are something from this persons past. This person was really hard to talk to about getting help. I wish you better luck. Harv Becky, I know how hard it is to go from a very active, very athletic person to what RA has left us with. But I was trying to help you decide that of the 2 activities you mentioned, running is the one to let go of! LOL I mean.....if you can't do 'em both, is there really a choice here? Stay in bed.......LMAO......that's my suggestion....we gotta do what we gotta do, right? PS.....if you choose running over.......the other activity.....can I have his phone #.....heehee.....I'm bad!

I would gladly give up running. This relationship has been amazing to me in so many ways. After my husband died I figured my life was pretty much over, but God had other plans for me and I am grateful everyday. As far as the hip, it is still bad but is going down slowly. I have decided that the gym 6 days a week is no longer an option for me and be happy and content that I Can manage to do 3-4 days and use the elliptical trainer and when it flares up to back off. My main problem is that I have lost a lot of weight thru exercise and was afraid of gaining it all back, but there are worse things to happen in ones life as I have learned over these past years. Thanks again Becky > ah, the new relationship syndrome! having been single for 5 years, i > know it well. the only cure is to turn it into an old relationship, at [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > diane >> I finally had to talk to him. << excellent! I think those hard conversations are the ones that can deepen a relationship -- or else let you know it's not worth deepening. Sounds like yours is, and I'm so very happy for you! diane |
