Feeling better, but ow

[clevermanka]

So I'm over the cold/sinus thing. Hurray! But last night my left hip started hurting (arthritis). It was mildly painful when I went to bed. About 5-ish this morning, the pain woke me up and I couldn't get comfortable enough to fall back asleep.

The pain comes in waves that last 30 minutes to an hour. Right now is a lull. I'm going to do my best to get away from my desk and walk around for ten minutes every hour.

I've never had my hips hurt like this for no reason. It's usually something like a couple years ago when I went to NYC and forgot to bring my Glucosamine. This pain out of nowhere is weird. And a lot of not fun.

That's sucky. You've been taking your glucosamine regularly?

I missed yesterday, but last time I stopped taking it, it was nearly a week before I noticed any discomfort. I was super careful about taking it (with my morning pills) in Minneapolis, even if I did skip most of the evening pills.

It looks like we might be joining you on Monday nights for yoga.

Gopi can be very (sweetly) passive-agressive.

Well, except I'm going on Saturday mornings now. Mondays are the best evening for anerys and I to get together for dance stuff. Sorry!!!!

One thing I found out is that hip pain also comes with certain antidepressants, and with statins (for cholesterol). So I don't take anything that will make the hip pain worse. It was bad yesterday. Must have been an especially rough day for hips.

Weird! I'm not on either one of those things, but I am doing an herbal remedy for some stomach problems. Perhaps it's related. I like to think it has nothing to do with it, but one never knows.

Sorry to hear you were suffering, too.

Oh, I'm just grateful that so far I have been able to back the osteoporosis off, so I am less likely to break one of them. The statistics of hip replacement are dreadful, and I hope I never break one of them!

Thanks! Someone just mentioned to me that the weather is shifting like crazy out there (I haven't peeked outside since I got to work). That might explain some of it.

You could be onto that... my ankle is throbbing right now, and it only does that in weather changes.
