Zanaflex and Hip pain

[Guest guest]

I have been taking zanaflex for the last two months and I think it

helps. I do not have as much muscle pain especially in my legs at

night. So far I haven't had any side effects.

All of a sudden I have terrible hip pain only in one hip. The doctor

is saying it's arthritic changes. Seems rather weird to me since it

came on suddenly and runs from my hip to my knee. None of the other

joints in my body are flaring up so why would just one? Any ideas?

(Oh I have 2 kinds of arthritis and fibromyalgia) Thanks,

Cathy, I too have thyroid problem with my frbromyalgia and also arthritis too

and panic disorder I have bad panic attacks!! I have pain all over in my hips my

doctor says it is due to just weight but I don't think it is the real culprit it

don't help I am sure. But my pain also goes down my legs. I have shoulder, back,

neck, chest, arm, elbows pain also and the weather don't help. If cold I hurt if

to humid I hurt if rains or rainy looking I hurt. I am up with pain alot and

during the day I stay home due to the pain also. I alternate meds helps for

awhile!! Then I start all over again!!! I can't sleep either at nights I rest

better in the day sometimes!! I also have 3 sister's 2 of which have thyroid

problems!! shirley

It strange, I too have been having more hip pain that usual lately. It

goes from my hips down to my knees in both sides. I've also had pain in

my arms, shoulders and upper back. The past week has been really bad

for me with pain. The fatigue has been horrible for months, but the

pain increased just recently. I don't know if the weather has anything

to do with it, but we've been having a really cool and rainy spring

here. In the past week, we've had plenty of rain and on those days, the

pain is worse. I've tried Flexerall and a few other muscle relaxants,

but I'm not able to tolerate them.

Today, although sunny, the temp didn't get over 50 degrees and I was

zonked out all afternoon.

I'm wondering, which of you have thyroid problems in addition to your

fibromyalgia? I have been tested for the Auto-antibodies for thyroid

disease and mine are high, but my thyroid tests always come back within

normal limits. Having the auto-antibodies shows I have the potential

for thyroid (I have two out of three sisters with thyroid disease). It

would make sense since I have such horrible fatigue.

I have a hip joing degenerating. I have horrid pain in the thigh of that

leg. My Pt says this pain is from the hip joint,

that I " limp " and its

creating a tightness of the muscles in that leg. I thought it was fibro,

since I have many fibro lesions on the thigh. I have been putting off

surgery, thinking that it won't change this pain, which is excruciating and

depilitating. Why go thru the hip replacement and still have the pain?

Really sucks. I am getting remapped friday to see I am clearing at all. I

just want to function again. Getting very discouraged!
