What Does Pain In The Hips Indicate?

Hello, I am quite ill tonight. I had xrays on my right hip near my pelvis. Was told I have arthritus, 2 years ago I had surgery on my back {lower vertebrate s were incased and screwed down) it caused additional pain when scar tissue built up and pressed on the nerves. Scans were done that showed no other reason for excess pain. I went in for a series of steroid shots the pain eased for all of 3 monthes. In desperation I consulted with a Medical Marijuana, met with a Doctor and filled out necessary paper to use Cannibus Oil. Got my certificate for use and started a regiment of a dose the size of a grain of rice. My pain went from a 9.5 to 1.5. Side effect my blood pressure became eradicable. Doctor weaned me off blood pressure medication. 2 months later pain started in my right hip. That s when I was told I had arthritus. the prescription they wrote had a 183 co-pay, can t do it. Told him was also having trouble with my short term memory, he prescribed Arecept. Took it for almost a week, I am quite sure that is what is making me so horribly nauseous , I am not going to take any more of it. And to top off my fun time.....I have never had acme, but my cheeks were breaking out. I am told it is Rosacea. Co-pay is way way to high so am looking for alternative. Does any of this make sense.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As far as I can tell, the Acne on your face are most likely the side effect of steroid injection you had for your back. Cannabis has a known side effect of causing short term memory loss. Arthritis of hip joint is very common condition and the definite treatment for it is Hip Replacement surgery. Pain killers are not very effective in this condition.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
