Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have a bad lower back. For the last 2 month I have been having really bad pain in the hips and along the whole lower back. This happens when I sleep and it is hard for me to get out of bed in the morn. My Dr said it is muscle. I think it is more. I had an MRI done last year. He also looked at it a few weeks ago. My meds I take for my back is not helping at this point. I once in awhile i will get a steroid pack but they don't like to give it because it can cause issues. I was going to call the Dr on Monday but I wanted to get your opinion. Has anyone ever had problems with their hips? Has anyone felt this. I feel like a person is standing on both hips. There is a lot of pressure. Thank, Cheli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hi Cheli - my lower back and hips bother me all the time. I've had x-rays and MRI's and they say I am not a candidate for surgery. The only thing that they could recommend at this point was epidural injections, but without insurance, I can't afford this. I mentioned it to my Rheumy and he said we could try trigger point injections. I have to call the office to see how much those are, though. Its frustrating and so limiting. I hurt all the danged time and I can't even stand long enough to make a simple meal anymore. So, I feel your pain. Sorry I don't have better answers for you, but this is what I'm going through now..... Doreen I have a bad lower back.
