I have a really strange joint condition, no one knows what it is, i need some suggestions.?

Question

I have a really strange condition in mainly my hips and my knees, that causes stabbing pain right in my hip flexers and knees. It's really inconsistant, and is more painful with increased activity. I'm on pills for pain and inflammation, those only help a little. When it is not a stabbing pain, it is a throbbing pain and hurts so bad i'm crying. My joints do not hurt to the touch and do not swell. My blood tests are negative for arthritis. I have a small case of scolioses in my upper spine, and i've had these pains for 3 years. If you have ANY idea what this could be, please let me know.

Answer 1

I would suggest a Pain Management Clinic- They do wonders, and the goal is to alleviate the pain you are enduring so you can lead a normal, productive life. They have many techniques- IE: Injections, epidurals, tens units, just to name a few to assist you in living a pain-free live. Good luck- Hope this helped!

Answer 2

you might have a condition known as Fibromyalgia. I've enclosed information about this condition and if you think you have it see a doctor of rheumatology for verification and treatment.

Here is a brief list of common symptoms of this disease:

Chronic pain throughout the body
Burning, numbness and tingling
Tenderness when pressure is placed on or around the neck, elbows, hips, thighs and knees.
Sleep disorders
Chronic fatigue or exhaustion
Depression
Anxiety
Facial Pain
Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Memory Loss
Irritable Bowel
Tension or Migraine Headaches
High sensitivity to foods and medications (allergic type reaction).
Minimal tolerance to heat and cold
High sensitivity to bright lights and sounds
Hair Loss

Because symptoms develop gradually, this disease is often misdiagnosed. It is often diagnosed as a repetitive strain injury; sleep disorder condition, irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis or any other type of medical problem. Based on the American College of Rheumatology a person is diagnosed with Fibromylagia when he or she suffers pain throughout the body for at least three months and has 11 out of 18 tender points present.

i used to have that kind of pain in my right knee it really hurts and I got afraid of running or walking too much... what I did was take an ice pack and numb out my leg so it feels a little less painful and after a few weeks it just went away
