Jade,

Have you heard of myofascial pain?

I have trouble with my hips rotating and getting my body out of alignment, which

causes terrible pain. I was lucky enough to find a physical therapist who does

myofascial release and it helps tremendously.

Don't know if you have anyone in your area who practices this but it might be

worth a try.

Take Care,

Hey Jade,

Sorry to hear things are so bad. These ideas may all be redundant but here

is what I can come up with off the top:

1. Is this a chari brain thing? Is it in your brain's interpretation of

your hip or is it actually in your hip? I know nothing about chari.

2. Have you seen an actual neurologist? How about a joint dr (brain fog on

the actual specialty)? I have found that sometimes a specialist in the

right area can actually help, it is just a matter of finding the right dr in

the right area.

3. Have you discussed getting a neuro-block?

4. Check your medications to see if any of them cause tendon inflammation.

Statins are famous for causing knee and leg tendons to swell and sometime

rupture. It doesn't sound right in that you aren't hurting when you are

moving, but, hey, always worth checking all medications including those you

have been on for a while.

5. Have you tried an inversion table?

6. If sleeping at an angle helps, then get a 4 ft x 8 ft piece of plywood

and set it at an angle. Put a futon mattress on it.

7. Does sleeping at a reverse angle help (head down)?

8. Does it matter how long you stand still? Does it change in any way the

longer you stand? Does it go away instantly when you move regardless of how

long you have been standing (1 minute versus 10 minutes)?

9. Does it matter how you stand? For example, if you put one foot up on

the phone book and the other on the floor does it change? Or feet shoulder

width apart? Or close together? Or one in front of the other? On one

leg?

10. What about activity level? If you exercise really hard and then stand

still does it change in any way?

11. Do you need a vibration? Are you too still when standing or sleeping?

Do you have a massage mat to lay on? Does it help?
