I've had hip and back pain for 9 years since my last child was born, and sciatica in pregnancies. I've had physio and chiropractic treatment over a few years but basically given up as nothing was helping.
Pain has recently got worse in hips, back, buttocks, ribs and legs. I think possibly because I have been on naproxen for something else and stopped it, and it has been masking the pain
I can't stand for more than 5 mins or walk for more than 20 mins without being in pain and I really need to do something about it now. I spoke to GP who basically said to try physio again so feeling a bit depressed.
Anyone know what I should do next? I'm willing to pay for private treatment but just don't know where to start. It's really affecting my daily life now and I'm only in my 40s
