Questions for the Vets | Arthritis Information

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good pain free day. Im trying to feel a bit better than I have been, but still having pain in my shoulders, and hips. Gonna make myself and my nephew some cookies later, maybe that will make me feel better.

Got a question for all the RA vets out there. I have noticed that lately the pain in my hips is increasing. Now even when I sit down in a straight back chair they hurt unless I elevate my feet. I know they usually hurt when you stand up, but I cant even be comfortable when I sit down now. Even if I sit down in a recliner or on a sofa I elevate my legs to alleviate the pain in my hips. Sound weird to you, or just another one of the lovely consequences of RA?

Im just one question after another ain't I.

I know your pain sister!! I sit behind a desk all day so I know the pain of sitting. Lately having a hard time with it because I'm off my meds....and I sure can feel it in my hips.

I'm afraid it might just be another lovely consequence of RA. Not that you will have this pain all the time; but I wouldn't consider it unusal to have it now and then...sometimes worse than others.

Hope you feel better....and enjoy your cookies!!

I hate hip pain! I'm not stuck at a desk all day, but sometimes when I'm sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, raking or something i get tired hips. It feels like I can't take another step or I'm gonna scream. At one time there was a month or so that I had hip pain whenever I sat down, I could feel it thru my back...some reason it went away. RA travels all over so what acts up sometime may act up again, or never. IKt's such a weird disease. Hip Pain is my major issue. Sitting is the worst. Elevating feet does help. My hips bones, sit bones and top of my legs are hurting big time today. Also in my lower back. I carry a pillow with me now when I go places and avoid any outings that I have to sit too long

I was hoping you could give me some of your home remidies

To Murphette,

Your right this is a weird disease, I dont wish it on anyone!!!!!!!!!!
