Re: hip or unknown area pain! Kathe

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathe,

Thanks for answering. It's the bone I sit on that hurts. I looked at

a picture of a pelvis. There are two loop bones on the bottom we sit

on. The one on the right hurts. Feels inflammatory. I can feel it

under my butt cheek. Sorry it's hard to describe. Hurts like heck

right now. Haven't heard from my rheum yet. He goes through many

nurses. The SI joint you mention is up higher near my low back. I

don't have radiating pain. Just local. Very uncomfortable to walk.

I posted here since I think it may involve my hip joint muscles.
