Hip & back pain

topcat65

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm a 57 year old female & have horrible pain in my hip that has been diagnosed as having osteo arthritis. I also have severe pain in my groin & degenerative disc disease in my lower back that causes constant pain. Does anyone else have this combination? If so what medication can you suggest please. I'm taking Co dydramol & Naproxen but some days I get no relief at all taking them. Thank you in advance & wishing you all a nice weekend 😊

Hi, I have exactly the same plus upper spine as well. I'm on tramadol and gabapentine and anti inflammatory meds. I'm going into hospital in a few weeks to have ablations on my nerves. I'm 60 years old and female

I had some relief for a few weeks from steroid injections into hip and also had them in lumbar facet joints.

the ablation sadly didn’t work for me.
