returning to doc for my hip

Well things are not much better so Lee is taking me to my pcp again this afternoon. Im freaking out about the laundry that is pilling up. Sitting seems to be all I can do and walking I am seeing the world doubled over I cant stand up straight. Yes I am SMO but I am a go getter. I do all the shopping, laundry and work a part time job but since this thing with my hip and thigh is going on all I can do is sit . I did manage to do some dishes but put a chair in front of the sink and did them that way. Thanks to everyone for thier thoughts and advice. I am going to talk to my pcp about a cortisone shot again and see if we can increase my insulin in case my blood sugars go up.                                                                           Annie

I am sorry to hear that you are still in pain. I know exactly what that kind of pain does. I finally went to a pain manangement specialist. When I went I was doubled over unable to stand up. An hour and a half later I was standing up straight.  The injection(s) were put in the hip and my back but they were not cortisone. That was 6 years ago and I am doing great. I go once a year and get shot up and I am ready to go. The only problem is sometimes I have to judge stepping down on stairs. The hip doesn't always"listen" when I need to bend. But its better than the pain. Talk about using a chair...I had a office desk chair  that I used to cook clean etc cause i was to hard headed to get help...
