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.
