Hyper mobility and Bursitis

[mellowyellowme]

Hi

I am early 50's and have hypermobile joints. For the last year, I have had problems with restricted movement in my right groin (hurts to lift leg upwards). Physio has diagnosed bursitis too via physical examination. It is sooo painful to walk and I now have referral pains in my lower back too.

No scans to date.

Had various blood tests too which are being looked into.

May receive cortisone injections at next physio visit.

Am now thinking of going private too.

Can anyone recommend a good consultant in London who specialises in this kind of issue?

No recommendation but lots of empathy! I've been having physio for my left hip that had moved, causing bursitis. It's nearly better now. Starting the gym next week to do strength training to try and stop things moving when they shouldn't.

It's such a vicious cycle. I don't feel like exercising as I am in pain but need to to strengthen my muscles.

If you can pay privately try the hypermobility unit at the Wellington

Thanks that's helpful
