What Causes Pain In The Hips, Legs And Back?
I am experiencing muscle pain in hips, legs and back, at night or early morning. These pains wake me up. When I get up in the morning my legs feel heavy and my hips hurt, but the ache goes away as I move around. I have also felt somewhat lightheaded and tired. I ride a horse twice a week and feel that contributes, but i don t think I am overexercising. What s going on with me?

Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your symptoms there is possibility of pain due to bad posture as your whole left side is involved, analgesic and muscle relaxant will reduce pain.
If not relieved then possibility of polyarthritis needs to be considered
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, do you have such complain?
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine?
When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
