The way you describe your pain sounds like it could be the nerve in your back instead of the hip. I had that problem one time, would get into the Mall then want to crawl back out to the parking lot, it was an inflamed nerve. Does the pain radiate down the side of your leg?

My DH is a tough guy but it doesn't seem fair for him to have to suffer so much, really looking forward to him having the hip replaced in less than two years. Time flies so it should be here before we know it.

At first it didn’t, now it goes down the whole leg and foot and feels like its asleep and scares me to death. That was my latest symptom that started recently. At first it was just sheer pain. What did you do for yours for it to get better? I keep thinking mine isn’t going to get better, then I get depressed.

I hate he has to suffer too. I don’t like to see anyone suffer over a long period of time. It can play havoc with your disposition and desire. I love my home and I love to clean and do everything but at the moment...I feel a bit disabled. And thats what depresses me.
