I forgot to write this earlier as I was to tired when I got back
Well the verdict is ....
Good news
It is not my Hip
It is not a bone problem
News
My Soft Tissue around the Bones in my right Thigh has filled with fluid and is inflamed
The Physio pressed on it today and I nearly knocked her out as I jumped up through the Pain, she was ever so sorry as she did not mean to hurt me, but she had to check
I know she did and I felt sorry for her as she felt awful for hurting me, I told her not to worry I know she was not doing it on Purpose
This thing will take months to go
I have to put an Ice Pack on 4 times a Day and also only do 2 of the Exercises out of the as the other 2 will aggravate it
I have to go back in 2 weeks and if it has not settled then we start treatment with Steroid Injections
So that is the verdict on my Leg
I am relieved that it is not anything to do with my Bones
Like my Physio said it is serious but not untreatable so thats what we are doing and I am a Fighter so I will do it and I will beat it
Thanks all for being here and giving me the Courage with this

That's good to hear, Gabs. I mean, it's not nice to have soft tissue growing anywhere... it must be painful, but good it's nothing worse. I have a friend in the States who has that problem and he finds it painful at times as well, but as you say, it's treatable and indeed curable, so good luck on that, and I hope it doesn't take too long to clear.
Love and hugs xx

As I said Angel , I know it is very painful and will take a while to treat and clear up but I am so glad that it is not the bone or the nerves as they are harder to treat and painkillers don't work so well! I really hope it clears up soon as I hate to think of you suffering even more than usual! xxx

Just keep up with the exercises. So often I hear people complain of the discomfort that often comes with the exercise they have been assigned to do. I tell them that if they don't follow through with them, the condition will never improve. Sometimes you have to work through the pain to achieve your goals.

Gabs, I am really thrilled that it is not your bones or joints that are having problems. It sounds like you have a plan, and you can work on it, and it will only be two weeks before you see if it is having a positive effect. If it is not, then you can change courses. Waiting and waiting for help takes the soul out of you. Now that you know what you are fighting, you can kick that fighting spirit of yours into full gear and get going on your way to wellness.

Thanks for the update Gabs. I am glad it wasn't a bone problem. I know it will probably take some time and more pain to fix it but I am confident that you can handle it.

I have cortizone injections and they are wonderful they help so much. At the time you get them they hurt but they do work after a few days. If you need them I would get them.
I hope you have a great time with your kids. Come home safely

It is a relief to know the ' good' news. It will take months for it to resolve but if it is drained it won't take that long. Also you won't have to take painkillers for for that long, too. One of the side effects of painkillers is tiredness. Hugs to you.

Very good news. I am happy for you and I am sure you will do as you are told and then beat it. Of course that is not to say you will not do something crazy like...burning yourself, sewing yourself togethet etc., etc., etc.

Oh honey that is such a relief to me. I know it's still serious, but at least it can be taken care of. I was so worried about what the doctors would find out. Things are definitely getting better for you hon. And I am so glad. Now you just make sure you follow docs orders, ok? (This coming from the person with the broken kneecap that didn't do anything about it! LOL.....it's "do as I say, not as I do". Hehehe) Love you hon.
