Thank you so much for your reply,it's good to hear i'm not the only one out there.This thing has me feeling like i'm just lazy or something.But when i try to do regular house cleaning i pay for it for several days later.I'm just so confused,scared and depressed about all this.Don't get me wrong i'm glad to finally have a diagnoses after trying for 20 years to find out why i hurt all time but the pain seems to have gotten worse over the last year or so. Thank you again.

Jellybean:

no you aren't the only one.  I was not allowed to go back to work at 47, and have had a long process of realization of the things I can no longer do anymore.  It is a truly growing experience.  I have come to the point, that if God allows my feet to hit the floor and work when I get up, it is a great day, and do what I can working very dilligently within my limits("do not do anything, nothing, walk, sit and read no lifting etc.)  (sometimes stretching my limits) It is a very difficult thing to adjust to(especially if you are an active person)but you will get thru it(I did, but it wasn't easy)

 

God Bless

I have had a full year of hip pain with shots, PT, medication, massages, and stimulation. I recently started with an acupuncturist but after 5 visits, it is worse but I don't know if it is the discontinuation of meds or the junk coming out of my body.  I am in more pain than I have ever been.  I have pain in both legs with burning in both feet.  I have swelling in my joints and I feel like I have the flu.  My tendons in all the joints are aching.  I am at my wits end.  I had an MRI finally of my lower back and hips.  I just pray they finally find something just so I know I am not crazy or a hypochondriac.
