So...after years of unexplained aches and pains, my hip/pelvic pain finally reached a level that made me seek help nd answers. Went to Pcp who ordered xray and ortho consult. Ortho said "it's not an ortho problem but take this solumedrol pack and come back in 4 weeks." He also said he thought I needed to see a rheumatologist. So I took the steroid ( I have copd and was starting g to feel junky anyway so I figured it would help with that too! no help with the hip pain so I went right to rheumatologist. Didn't need to pay $45 Copay for him to tell me to go. Seen rheumatologist this past Friday. She started me on neurontin 100 mg at bed time then slowly increase to 300mg and come back in 4 weeks. She also ordered an xray of my back and pelvic ultrasound. She thinks my pelvic pain is some stretched out ligament problem.I already take Celexa and my pcp has been ordering me Tylenol 3 for years due to severe menstrual cramps but I have been going through them very quickly because 1 doesn't do it anymore and because I take them throughout the month for my other pain. They take the edge off....that's it. Hoping that this is the start of feeling better but who knows.... any advise or insight would be greatly appreciated!
