Serious Medical query about the fluid in Hip Joints...?

Question

I may have to have the fluid from one hip joint scrapped out and was wondering how this affects the joint? Can you still walk properly, will it impair my walking and general function of the hip and for how long if so? Or can the joint work without it?

It's the natural fluid that your joints produce to emable them to move about freely.
I have too much build up but they don't know why so the next stage of investigation is scraping it all away and letting it develop again and hopefully stopping at the right amount.

Answer 1

See a chiropractor and massage therapist.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 2

I have never heard of the fluid being removed but they do sometimes remove dislodged bone fragments or cartiledge fragments to ease up movement?

Answer 3

You sure its the fluid and not the cartilage?
