Hi I am a 46year old women and I have been having problems walking I have gone to the doctors and they have?

Question

run test and X-reys but just cant seem to find the problem it only effects my (R) hip my back aches and @ times my neck I get head aches but not alot. It dosent matter what time of day the hurt is still there I can't sleep in a good postion @ night w/o wakeing up I don't think it's artheritis because it is only on one side. I do get cramps from time 2 time on my back side of my upper leg. but not the lower so what do you think?

Answer 1

Have they done MRI on spine? I am assuming Xray was on spine (entire length)? You could have disk problems that don't show up on xrays yet. Have pinched nerves been ruled out?

How is your posture, both awake and asleep? Practice a good posture during waking hours, and try to make sure spine is alligned well at night also. Keep a diary of the pain, when it occurs, where, what seems to make it worse or better. Do you have pain in any other places? Keep records of it all. Then keep on your doctor until you find the cause. Don't give up.

When one side of our body hurts, we tend to walk differently to compensate, creating more pain. You might ask your doctor about using a cane to balance out your walking while the problem is being looked into. Also ask about physical therapy.

Just FYI, Calcium, magnesium and potassium help prevent cramps.
