hey S been awhile, glad to see you posting - but not to hear al that you 9and hubby) have had to undergo. re the hip/leg - sounds a bit like my own - in my case i have a couple bad vertebrae so they thought that was it - turns out it's really from the avn in my right hip - causes the piriformis muscles to get inflamed, that gets the sciatic flared up - radiates down the leg. how is your fibro doing nowadays? congrats on the weight loss, sounds like you are doing great. be well paul Sunshyne wrote: > > Thought I would drop by, say hello!

I am also thinking the hip and leg thing could be related to something else. I am shorter on one side than the other. By a inch or two. That is from the car accident over 10 years ago. The right side of my body was affected alot by that accident. Can even tell by the shoulders how lopsided I am. So could be wear and tear, or making up for the uneveness on the right side. >how is your fibro doing nowadays? Its getting better actually. Most of the pain is the neck and then back. Been really fatigued alot lately. Sleeping around 15 hours a day. Not good. But then could be just making up for lost sleep over the years. LOL. Or the meds I am on, who knows. Like I mentioned too, the diet seemed to help with the digestive problems, which I thought was due to the fibro. I also figured out since dieting, I am allergic to fermented foods, and dairy. Which is leading into some other possibilities, like yeast overgrowth. Thinking on taking probiotics for it. Trying to tackle one of the problems or symptoms of fibro at a time. Depression still comes and goes. > >congrats on the weight loss, sounds like you are doing great. > >be well > You too, was nice to hear from you.
