Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2008Saw doctor yesterday.
And I now have on a short cast and can use the fingers on my left hand! Am so thankful for that. He took another xray of my left hip because I still can't stand or walk on it. It is so painful. He still couldn't see anything there so I will be having a full body bone scan next Wednesday and back to Dr. H on Thursday. I have no pain going down my leg but some going up my back on left side. Have prescription for wheelchair but the problem is finding one with a 13 inch wide seat. Anything wider will not go through my bedroom door. Found one when ankle was broken but can't remember where it was! One place is looking now and will start calling other medical supply houses when we hear from them. Only found the one place who had one last time. Am very thankful for the good from this trip; can now use my elbow and fingers! Gwen Gwen, I'm happy to hear you got into the short cast. At least that gives you some mobility in that hand. Do you think the hip pain could be bursitis? Have they tried a short of cortizone yet? I hope you get some relief soon. Ann Ann, In the last 9 weeks I've had 4 injections, 3 in my shoulders and 1 in my hip. The hip one was on Monday, 1/21/08. Didn't have much effect. Doc first said bursitis but now he's not sure.

Glad to hear about the cast though. Jayne The 13 inch seat doesn't seem realistic so think I remember wrong. Am weary of working on that this AM so am going to take a nap. It seems to help my hip to stay in bed a couple of hours each afternoon. Gwen > And I now have on a short cast and can use the fingers on my left hand! > Am so thankful for that.

That is good news at least. I hope you heal quickly and can find out what is causing the hip issues and get that fixed too.

Glad you got the smaller cast on, now just pray the next step will be out of the cast and back to some semblance of normal. . . . . Donna . . . . 1.)
