Re: Anyone feel like the pain is in their Hips (literally in the bones)?

I have been dealing with low back pain, hip pain, and leg pain (in my
right leg) for about 8 months now. I have scoliosis so I thought that
may be the reason. I had a lap done in October and she removed a very
large part of endo on my right side, so then I thought that may be
related.
I went to a chiropractor for a while and didn't do much good. I just
went last Thursday to a massage therapist. He believes that I am having
problems with my sciatic nerve. He rubbed and did alot of things to my
right side. And I must say I am feeling alot better. So for all of you
who are having this problem, you might try a massage therapist. My guy
used to be a physical therapist as well.
Hope this helps!

I also had radiating pain down my legs during my period, but hip pain was persistant. I had an endometrial ovarian cyst. Doctor felt it during exam, and did ultrasound to confirm. Had cyst removed, and hip pain is gone. Hope this helps.
