Hip pain....pain and more pain

There has been a new development in my ongoing pain. I now have extreme hip pain. This hip pain started about two weeks ago and just got worse and worse. It hurts the worst after lying down for long periods of time. It hurts at the end of the day or if I walk alot and if I go up stairs. Karson took me to urgent care on Friday 10/24 because I woke up with extreme pain. The pain is in my hips but also radiates through the scar tissue pain. I know it is all related but the Doctors have to check my hips to rule out any problems with the bones first. I was referred to physical medicine who will look at my hip x-rays and probably order me an MRI...how fun. I have a CT referral but they have not called me for that either. I am convinced it is all related to my surgery. I am sure my growing cyst is causing problems as well. I feel bloated and crampy and I keep gaining weight. I feel miserable and I feel depressed and all I want to do when I am in pain is eat. I don't know why my body sends me those signals. Pain equals the urge to eat bad. I have another trigger point injection appointment tomorrow. I think the scar tissue is deep and the trigger point is not helping much...but I have to keep trying. I feel completly exhausted and I want to sleep all day. At work I try not to go up and down the stairs but I really can't avoid it. Stupid victorian house!!! If only we had an elevator!! Karson has the flu right now so we are both miserable. I hate this. I felt at least a little better while I was doing physical therapy. Now all this added pain has made me feel like I am back at square one. They bounce me from Doctor to Doctor and all the while I have to pay the co-pays and still no solutions. So tired of the pain. It is not comforting that EVERYONE i see says "you're to young to be having these problems"... Thanks that really helps me!!! It is nearing the one year mark for my surgery and I just feel like nothing is getting better. URGH!!! Depressing blog...I know.
