Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Does anyone experience hip pain when sitting or laying in bed? I have been experiencing a hot, burning pain in my left hip going on down into my knee. I went to the Dr. and she gave me Neurotin saying she thinks it is a nerve problem. It still hurts after 2 weeks on the medicine. I have been taking up to 6 MSM tablets a day also. I do still have saline implants in, the 3rd set!! due to ruptures, the first being silicone. I am in the process of setting up surgery to get these out before the end of the year and NO MORE!!! I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may be or has had this problem. The Dr. thinks I am crazy when I blame my aches and pains on the implants. Thanks, PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hi PJ, I do not experience such pain but I do have some other aches. that has to be annoying the doctors thinking you are crazy and all. I have yet to see a dr for my ailment because I fear the ridicule. Glad you decided to get those things out if they are causing you discomfort and pain. I still have my implants as well and hoping to get them out soon. No doctor should think you are crazy. The doctor should listen and be open to all possibilities not just give you a pill and send you on your way. If the dr thinks your implants are making you ill, you are more than likely to be able to get your explant covered by your insurance, but I could be wrong. Do you have any other symptoms?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Many of my patients have similar symptoms. I would recommend lipoic acid 2000 mg a day.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hi PJ, Yes, I have had a very similar problem beginning nearly 10-years ago --- now, it goes from my head to my foot on the left side. It also now effects my left arm & las 2 fingers of my left hand, etc. I have had 'Nerve Conduction Studies' done by 4 different neurologists since this problem became constant. The last 3 have given a very definite Dx of demyleniation of the nerves, which was initially " labeled " as periferal neuropathy; and now is labeled as possible MS, etc. Neurontin is one of those pain medications that 'normally' works very well for this kind of pain. However, you have to take it as prescribed for at least 6-weeks before it finally " kicks in " ! Many doctors 'neglect' to tell their patients such information, or they simply do not know that part of the 'deal' because they have not bothered to read all the 'disclosures' for the drug! Please stay in touch!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Interesting that you mention hip pain actually since that was one of my very first symptoms. I no longer have the hip pain so I do attribute it to the implants and having them removed to getting rid of it, though at the time I was doing allot of running and kickboxing that may have also added to my troubles. I highly recomend the implants need to go and that with diet and some exercise and supplements if needed you can get better, it can take awhile though, and you need to be able to talk to a Dr about helping you with pain control in the meantime. Dont be afraid to take something for pain if you need it. blessings ----- Original Message ----- From: " ronpatgordi4 " <ronpat@...> < > Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 9:08 AM Subject: Hip Pain, HELP!! > Does anyone experience hip pain when sitting or laying in bed?
