New To Group - Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello,

To briefly describe my condition: I have had 3 surgeries on my right hip to

repair a labral tear and have limited mobility in that joint. My left also has

a tear and I am contemplating surgery. I have had neck pain since I was about

13 years old, I am now 29. My pain and stiffness is now in my hands, my elbows,

feet, knees and back...basically overall inflammation. I have been to several

RA specialist who have done blood tests, all of which have come back negative.

One Dr. believed I had Anklosing Spondylitis, but then decided I did not. I

can't understand what is causing this chronic pain and it is creating numerous

challenges in my life, bouts w/ depression etc. Again, I am a 29 year old male,

who appears to be in good shape. My pelvis is out of allignment due to my hip

issues and my gait has changed as a result. But, Doctors are telling me that

this shouldn't cause the overall inflammation...Any thoughts or feedback would

be great greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
