Sorry to hear you're having so much pain. Hope you get feeling better.

I get a lot of pain in my hips, butt and all over and it's from active myofascial trigger points.

Check out triggerpointbook.com and look for hip/butt and back pain and I bet you'll find you have them too.

yes it gets bad..does it seem like sciatic nerve pain? a massage may be helpful, may be painful but they could work it out if you could stand it...hope you feel better...
hugs

I have bursitis, if I overdo it, it kicks in and very painful. Just take it easy and take a hot bath. Try to give it some rest.

yes when my hips are bad i have to lay down and use alot of pillows to cushion them and relieve the pain.. you will be in my thoughts..**hugs**

I would see if you can get a massage...do you have a therapist ? One that deals with FM and myofascial ??
I cannot sit alot of times...pain, numbness...makes me crazy cause I am not up to standing around all day either...sometimes it is Real bad...sometimes not so bad...when it gets to much for me, I make an immediete appointment with my massage therapist...take a warm ebson salt bath, an Ibuprophen, and try to ride it out...much like evry OTHER thing that seems to Constantly grab my attention..

I Do Hope you get some REAL relief SOON !!

Thanks everyone, I don't think I can stand this much longer. I do have sciatic problems but I really don't think that it's that. Who knows when you are in this much pain, it seems it all runs together. I'm sitting here crying and trying to type. I'm stupid I guess. I just don't know what to do. love all of you, Becky

So sorry you're in such pain. I know exactly how you feel.

bobo

I get this all the time too. Prayers that you have relief.

BOBO DID YOU FALL OR ANYTHING, IF YOU ARE LAYING DOWN CAN YOU LIFT YOUR LEG AND BEND YOUR KNEE. IF YOU FELL AND IF IT HURTS YOUR HIP WHEN BENDING THE KNEE I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE OF WORKING IN THE MEDICAL FIELD YOU COULD HAVE BROKEN IT.

BURSITIS

Bobo, NEVER call yourself stupid!!! Prayers in the works for you tonight. I too have that nasty hip and lower back/tailbone pain. Even when I have not "overdone" it. Seems to happen more when the weather changes or is rainy and wet.
Drs not sure what is causing it. Maybe a combo of sciatica, bursitis and fibro.

My butt/hip pain comes from sciatic nerves. This pain can radiate into your feet, and it's a bitch. My approach over many years to resolving this pain is a combination of heat (heating pad), massage: very deep and intimate, in the butt cheek, around the side of the hip, and with the thumbs, almost to your hmmm. Careful not to get any massage lotion in your private parts. This can feel glorious. Hot tub. Try sleeping on stomach. Or on back with pillow under knees and lower legs. Heating pad across pelvis. You may also like to alternate this with ice.
2nd phase: When you get up, go into shower and get warm. Then do some easy stretching exercises (those muscles running all down back of legs into heels (you will feel this). Do NOT over stretch. Do not stretch through the pain. Go right to the edge of it and hold for about 10 seconds. If you can, squat for about 10 secs. If you can, do a modified downward facing dog pose. The point is to keep those muscles stretched out. Just work up to it. I find that the more I can keep these muscles stretched, the less sciatic pain I have. Also helpful are really good walking shoes with custom insole.

Hi there, anyone who has had it in their hips can really relate. The pain is unbelieveable. I had it in the right hip for 5 or more years but as I had ms it was overlooked as just a part of my mutiple sclerosis. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia this year but interestingly when I told my my new immunologist/rhuematologist and said I was worried because the left hip was starting to play up. Instantly he measured my legs, looked at my stance, checked out my knees and said you need to get orthotics. Yeah right, but I proceded with his advice and was told that I have trochanter bursitis and after reluctantly paying to have othoses inserts made for my shoes. Well I am gobb smacked at the difference it has made after years and years of pain and suffering you would not believe it. with fallen arches the feet roll in, hence the knees rotate in, you lose stability and strength and the mis alignment means the hips twist rubbing and causing inflamation of the bursa!! bang bursitis if you let it go on too long like i did and you end up with it in both hips the pain is horrific so it is worth giving it a go I did and not one injection of cortisone. I hate the fact the shoes are so boring and sensible but the relief is worth it and if you where them all the time you can still save the sexy stilletto's for that special occassion which for a few hours should cause to much grief. PS I have to wear boring sensible shoes all the time with MS but remind myself how grateful and lucky I am still walking. hope this helps all you sufferers as much as it has me. worth investigating. I just finished typing this to some-one on the lupus site so help it is of some use to you. I feel your pain

Hi, friend. It could be the trigger point stuff, bursitis, sciatica or something else and/or a combo of all the above. I know I can't even press my finger into my hip or the middle of my lower back - I massage it very gently after I put biofreeze or arnica cream on it. It might help to alternate heat/ice - but not long for either one of them.

Your in my prayers girl. Hugs, Deb

I was just diagnosed with FM in May of this year, but I know I've had it for years. I have tremendous hip and buttocks pain and all over muscle pain. My doctors say that fibro isn't as painful as I'm letting on and making me feel as if it is in my mind. Do others have this happen to them? I've filed for social security disability. Has anyone else gotten social security disability for FM? Thanks
