    i  cannot  walk  without  severe  pain  in  my  left  hip  and  my  whole  left  leg  especially  my  knees  and  my  inner  and  outer  left  thigh.  i  cannot  drive  any  longer,  way  to  painful.  my  balance  is  way  off  because  when  i  walk  alone  and  i  get  spasms  i  instantly  get  off  balance.  my  bones  seem  as  if  they  are  cracking  and  rubbing  together  when  i  move  certain  ways  and  the  pain  is  awful.  i  am  not  on  any  meds  for  arthritis  at  all,  just  exedrin  which  does  no  good.  i  have  had  hip  and  spine  exrays  and  my  dr.  says  my  left  hip  joint  is  way  worn  out  and  my  right  hip  joint  is  not  as  bad.  3  years  ago  i  had  the  first  cortasone  injection  in  my  left  hip  area  and  it  helped  a  while  and  then  a  few  months  later  i  had  another  one  and  it  didn't  last  long  at  all.  back  then  i  didn't  have  the  real  painful  symptoms  that  i  do  now.  i  have  been  going  to  a  chiropracter  for  about  3  months  now  and  the  last  time  he  adjusted  me  it  hurt  my  lower  back  alot  and  for  several  weeks  now  i  have  not  been  able  to  function  without  severe  pain.

The breakdown of cartilage in the knee can lead to bony protrusions called spurs and considerable joint pain.
