Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi , I to experience pain in my right hip. Sometimes it feels like it is in the middle of the hip and then others it is on the top. My dr. calls it pherctius (sorry for the mispelling) I tried a heating pad and also hot showers. Luckily it hasn't really been paining me lately. I don't know if that is because I have been on a new drug called Lyrica. I have been on it a month tomorrow and I can honestly say I feel like I have alot more energy. Also I have found that the predisone works good when it flares up. I'll tell you, I don't know you ever said that we age gracefully because I can honestly say I don't see any grace to it! take care Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Are you sure he did not say Bursitis? Inflammation of the bursirs? Yes, You got it right. Sorry for the misspelling. Sometimes when it acts up it is very painful. Usually for some odd reason every morning when I get up my hips hurts me. If I take a predisone it helps the pain go away and then I am fine for the day. I just took my last predisone this am. I have heard that if you stay on predisone for a long time it can do something to the bones. I don't have any refills and I am hoping that if I need them that the dr will renew it. I have been on talasan for yrs.That is an arthritus med. and it is for pain. It usually helps mederate pain. I am also taking lyrica which today has been exactly a month that I started. I seem to have more energy. I am taking 5-75mgs a day. The dr. told me the maxamium is 6 pills a day. This heat doesn't help much either. Hopefully it will be over soon. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
