sore hip, rash and swollen glands. What on earth?

Hi,

I wondered if I could ask your opinion? I think I'm mainly looking for a hand hold tbh.

I hurt my right hip a few weeks ago carried an electric piano up the stairs. It was stupid and I shouldn't have done it, but I did. I've seen an osteopath four times and my hip still hurts. In the last few days it has been getting worse and now it is hard to sleep.

Bizarrely I now have red raised rash on my back right in the place where my hip hurts, on the sacral dimple. It hurts and makes it hard to sit or lie down.

Two of the glands in my groin have also swelled up and are sticking right out and they hurt too.

I just woke up at 2am and it all hurts and the rash has now started just above the knee of that same leg.

What on earth is that?

I'm normally good at this stuff but the pain is making it hard to think, and I'm at home all day with my teen son who has severe anxiety, and my head is a bit overwhelmed with that too, so I just can't work out what on earth is going on.

I wondered if someone could possibly say something reassuring, so I can stop fretting about it and go back to sleep?

My temperature is 36.9C, so perfectly normal. My general health is rubbish and I'm extremely prone to stress-related illness.

Thanks!

No they haven't done that. I'm not really sure who would actually do that. Would that be a specialist of some kind? I have health insurance.

I would ask the GP if there's a doctor in your area who specialises in post covid or long covid illnesses. Or have a google and see if there is a specialist locally. It sounds like you are suffering a fair bit and there are treatments for some of the post covid triggered conditions.

Thanks for suggesting it. I'll have a think about it. I've been passed around a fair bit already and am currently focussing on getting my DS right. He's having a mega hard time just now too.
