Buttock, hip, low back and groin pain
I hope someone can give me a clue about my pain! please. just need som advice on what to do next!!
Im 21 years old and I were running a lot a couple of years ago without doing any other forms of exercise. I started having this pain in my buttock area after a while, but found it going away with one dose of NSAIDs, so I kept running. Then my life took another direction and I were out from running about half a year before I started again and ran the same lenghts I ran before without startig slow and building up. I got the same pain this time but this time it got really bad. I decided not to run but walked alot instead and after a long walk one day I almost couldnt get home. Somehow I limped my way home and lay down on the floor, and couldnt get up again. The pain was so intense I had to be helped up and almost carried to bed. I couldnt walk normal on my leg for a long time because of the pain in my buttock.
I went to a chiropractor who said Piriformis syndrom and that I needed spinalmanipulation as well. The second time I went it happend again. The intense pain, and I couldnt walk. I was scared and didnt go th chiro again. I started PT instead and he said a weak gluteus muscles. And found my gluteus medius being unactive and my feet being very overpronated. After about 6-7 week i stopped doing PT and felt OK...for about 3 months.
I started a new job where there were som though lifts , and I walked about 1.5 hours 5-6 days a week. When it happend this time I woke up in the middle of the night with the intense pain I felt before, probably being some kind of nerve pain. It lasted for about 2 days but the after effects on my body was the worst. I had myofascial pain spreading to many places and struggeld with this for 2-3 weeks before I could go outside my house again. I have been in pain since, in mye hip region and low back.
I find myofascial release helps me a lot, and have had PT again. The weirdest thing though is that the pain has changed sides. Before it was my left and now it is my right and its actually a lot worse. I also have a stabbing pain in my pelvic with weight-baering that really hurts in my groin and sometimes down backside of my thigh.(only on the side that hurts now) I feel it getting worse with each "episode" and taking longer time to get back on my feet. It seems to be irritated by weight-baering and walking without a limp and pain is very difficult. Nobody can tell me excatly what it is, and my PTist told me that he didnt know if he could help me anymore because he couldnt find anything wrong (no stablity issues in pelvis), but to call him if pain gets worse. I still go to active release theraphy and do a lot of streching. I have been tested for leg length discrepancy, but only found 2mm. I havent had MRI beacuse the my doctor dont think the will find anything.
Im so tired of not knowing what it is. Sometimes I feel like its bone-pain (ecspecially stabbing pelvis/groin pain) but most of the time it feels like muscles and stuff. I have no problem sitting though and the only thing that hurts is walking.Putting weight on the leg. And turning over in bed when its really bad and puttning on my socks. I feel my life is slipping away, and the pain has been chronic for about a year now. My life is no longer active and I feel im in a bad circle . Any ideas of what this monsterpain could be? Or which specialist to go see?
