My left hip.

[Elkhound]

I've been having pain in it for a few weeks and finally went to the doctor.  It turns out I have bursitis.  I have an appointment with orthopode in about two weeks.

[Evie]

Ouch!  I hope you feel better soon.

[Elkhound]

Sometimes it is hard to walk.  Oddly enough, it does not hurt to ride my bike.

[DesertRose]

Ouchie.  My grandmother had chronic bursitis in one of her shoulders, and it sucks.  I hope the orthopedic doc can figure out a way to get yours to go away.

Sometimes certain movements are better for the joint than others; riding the bike whenever possible may be a good way to keep active while you're healing.

[Aerlys]

Ooh, ow. A least you can still ride. Hope the orthopod can help.

[Elkhound]

Thanks, everyone.

[Jerusha]

I hope you heal quickly, Elkhound. 

[AnnieUK]

Get well soon, Elkhound.

[revanne]

I had bursitis about four years ago - could be agony. Strangely it went as suddenly as it had arrived, really hope yours does the same

May your recovery be swift.

[Laurna]

Elkhound find ways to be good to yourself,
Perhaps a new cushion on your work chair might help.
Heal swiftly my friend.

[Elkhound]

Now my gout is flaring up.  In my left big toe. 

[revanne]

Ow! Poor you I understand that gout is absolutely agony, hope you can get some proper pain relief

[Elkhound]

Ow! Poor you I understand that gout is absolutely agony, hope you can get some proper pain relief

Took some Motrin.  Hasn't been helping.

[Evie]

Certain foods are supposed to have properties that help with pain relief for gout, so adding more of those to your diet might also help.  I believe strawberries are among them.
