Re: Newbie:*) ???Podiatrist for hip pain???

[Guest guest]

yes I recently saw a podiatrist for hip and back pain. I had a foot operation.

because he said I was walking on my tippy toes and this will cause back pain. My

Achilles tendon was lengthened. The surgery wasn't back but the time after wards

is becoming a pain. If I feel well I don't like to sit. and well ya have to. I

had trouble with the cast, and now the walking air cast is being a pain. I go

back Thursday I hope he tries to speed up the process.

good luck

Welcome to the group. I have never heard of seeing a podiatrist, but it

couldn't hurt to try, right? If you do go to a podiatrist I hope it works and

let us know now it goes. =-) Feel free to ask any questions you may have. You

will get some great advise/answers. Take care!

Hi, my name is Cheyanne, newly diagnosed, 26, my info

follows... I am currently suffering more from hip pain

than fatigue but this varies. I also am on depakote

for my migraines and they have abated which is great!

For that reason I am feeling more optimistic than I

had in awhile.

My rheumatologist gave me an article about seeing a

podiatrist to possibly correct my balance and ease my

hip pain. Has anyone tried this? I figured it was

worth a shot.

Thanks for any replies:*)

What are the symptoms?

Hip pain, migraines, insomnia, fatigue...

Has you illness been diagnosed?

Yes.

How long did you suffer before you got help?

Six years.

Is there a time that you can remember when it started?

My hip pain started when I was twenty and has come and

gone ever since.

However I believe I got really sick around the time I

had a very severe bladder infection 18 months ago;

things seemed to spiral down from there.

Some of us have found lack of exercise we are

overweight. Have you

found this to be a problem also?

I definately lack exercise at this time and am

slightly overweight.

Are you on disability?

I am not on disability. However when I got pregnant

last year I was too sick to work (at two months

pregnant) and I quit my job. Now I am fortunate to

stay home with my son which is still lots of work, and

I am attending school part time though I miss lots of

class!

If you are any pointers for others trying to get on

disability?

What have you found that helps ease the pain, warm

baths, medications

etc.?

Do you have sleep problems? How do you deal with it?

Currently trying to regulate my sleeping pattern...

Do you have family that understands your illness?

Only my Mom understands, because although undiagnosed,

she has many of the same symptoms.

Some have found certain foods causes problems with CFS

or Fibro, have

you?

What type of Doctor have you found that has helped you

the most?

So far my rheumatologist has helped the most, mainly

in giving me a diagnosis, although my pcp also said

that Fibro was probably what it was.

Cheyenne,

I have custom made orthodic inserts that I wear in my shoes. they

ehlp keep my knees aligned, and are supposed to help my hips. I do my

physical therapy to keep specific muscles storng to help my knees and

hips. Now, ask me if it really and truly helps. Well, the answer is

no. Godd luck, maybe it will help you.

Take care,
