I am 63 years old, am very active
exercising and working 7 days a week. I
have suffered wtih hip joint pain that
continues to get worse for 6 or 7 years.
Sometimes my hip give out when I stand
up.The pain is so great that I limp.
Otherwise I am in excellent condition,
feel no different than when I was 40.
Every time I go to a new Dr. They order
an xray that does not show any disorder.
What is this? Can anyone help. I am in
constant pain.

X-rays do not always show the cause of
pain - nor do mri's etc - sometimes the
pain in say your hip can be caused by
something elsewhere being out of position
or by a nerve being pinched or a muscle
problem. This applies especially if
you're female & had any children - we
tend to carry them & other stuff on
our hips & so put things "out" &
cause problems later.
Try some of the natural meds like
chondroitin & glucosamine 750-1500mgs
of each once or twice a day - there are
others too.
