Gah!
Reported hip pain to GP. Xray, blood tests. Nothing wrong.
Hip pain worsens. Can't avoid it any more as it starts to interfere with daily activities. Back to GP. Still no idea. Referral to physio.
Wait 12 weeks for a physio. She tries all sorts of exercises. Some help with the stiffness, others aggravate the condition to the point of it being a constant problem, not just an intermittent one. Am reduced to being unable to climb stairs or bend without pain.
Physio gives up and refers me to Muscularskeletal dept. Stopping doing the exercises means that my symptoms settle down again to intermittently painful, instead of constantly.
They see me (last week). Prod and poke and ask more questions. Check over my xrays again.
Verdict.
Very flat footed. Hypermobile. I don't stand right. My back doesn't bend when I bend forward. I move all from my hip. It's most likely bursitis, but not the normal site for hip bursitis.
Referred BACK to the physio dept that was seeing me in the first place. Apparently I was probably seeing a trainee. And I am going to be sent to see someone else instead.
Getting annoying now. Hopefully THIS TIME something will help.
