Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2005***Arthritis in Hips and Legs?***
Arthritis in hips or legs From: scooter_girl_01@webtv.net My friend says she has pain in hips going down her legs ........Mid 50's in age Arthritis??...... gave her 2 Tylenol Arthritis last night I mentioned she ought to get it checked out Bonnie > > Arthritis in hips or legs [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Bonnie Could be anything. Barring a known mishap with an alien anal probe, she should be asking her doctor. Even if it was an alien anal probe mishap, it should probably be checked out by her doctor...she'll just have to edit the story about how it happened to remove the little grey guys with big black eyes, or else she'll get a psych consult as well.  Signaturespammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too.

It could be ANYTHING. She needs to see a doctor. Noone here can possibly come up with what could be wrong based on so extremely few details from second hand information, nor would anyone here really be qualified to. More details will come out of a medical examination, which noone here can conduct. Signaturespammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

Find out tomorrow Finally! Can't wait......... Bonnie Well, I wen to the ortho today, I go back in 2 weeks to find out I may call in 2 or three days...... God--did my shoulders hurt when they took the x-rays! still taking tylenol 650. Bonnie It makes me mad that he could have done those x-rays BEFORE the appt, I ended up on a table for it--- I couldn't balance and keep still in standing up with cerebral palsy Bonnie Well duh -- what nut thought you could manage that anyway. Hope they got what they needed.

(_<_) The x-ray tech at the doc's office.........DUH! Damn shoulders hurt worse than they did before--even during the x-ray they dangled and that REALLY hurt!! Hope a diagnosis is coming quickly--not two weeks from now........ I'd have had the diagnosis already--if the doc had ordered the x-ray's before the appt...damn! Another way to charge for a second office visit? Bonnie I'm off Voltaren and continuing on the Tylenol Arthritis 650 mgs The warm water exercise helps--but the cerebral palsy center is closed for the week I should know soon what the x-rays revealed Hey everyone......STAY COOL........in the 90's in Wisconsin.... Humidity....it's a killer! Bonnie Now I can feel pain in my left arm too--in addition to the shoulders......... Bonnie Called doc today.......expect the diagnosis tomorrow. Bonnie Well the x-ray turned out normal --of course that's because it shows BONES It doesn't explain the PAIN I still have Go back on August 15 Bonnie Bonnie. I had shoulder and upper arm pain for a long time..Regular x-ray didn't show anything. My new doc ordered a MRI and it showed a rotator tear and a joint that needs replacing! Don't give up.. Yeah--that could be it Wish darn ORTHO doc would send me for one BEFORE 8-15 --the next visit--probably want's another office visit paid for before he does that Damn--I wanna know the diagnosis when I get there not two "F" weeks later! No definite diagnosis was given at the first visit--told x-ray (the bones) were normal, a few days later. No wonder medicare limits what docs are paid! Bonnie |
