I have been to a rheumatologist and had an array of tests but they all came back negative so I continue to suffer from aches every morning upon waking especially in my hips and shoulders ands sometimes even my stomach muscles. I tried medication but it not seem to work so I use a heating pad before I go to bed each night and that has had some good effects. I manage to walk at least two miles daily throughout the year except for bad weather conditions. My left hip continues to bother me from playing in an old-timers softball league and taking a bad fall but I had x-rays at several different orthopedic surgeons and no need for a hip replacement. I go to a chiropractor once a month for adjustments on the hips and other areas but no real improvement. I am 68 years old and can bear the pain but I wonder if someone out there has any suggestions to improve my condition. Thank you for any help or information you can give.
