MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many

my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

Has anyone fractured their pelvis. I have osteopenia and they told me this is a stress fracture. I did nothing to cause this. I have lupus and I have been on prednisone for three years.

My hip started to hurt the beginning of April. After a hip xray showed nothing, they ordered a MRI. They found the fracture. They said I wouldn't need surgery and it would heal.

The funny thing is until they drooped the prednisone mg. down I had no pain in the pelvis area. Now I'm suffering so bad. This has been going on sense April.

Should I be worried that I moved the wrong way and made it worse. The pain is so intence now????

The only symptom you had was pain? Was it a severe pain or an achy type pain?

hatbox121,

Yep, but the pain was in my hip. The funny thing is at first the pain was in my right hip. I fractured the right side pelvis. Then I fell and my left side started to hurt too???

Yes the pain is severe. I can feel something inside me shift when I roll over in bed. So much pain.

Once I do any heavy lifting or move the wrong way it starts all over again. The pain is so bad I take 1 oxycoten three times a day and ibprofen every four hours and no relief!!! Gen

Thanks Gen. My right hip's been extremly tender the past few days. Like if I move it hurts but not that severe. I do have a bruise there but I never hit it or bumped into anything so I don't know what that's about. Mines probably a muscle thing. Just thought I'd ask.
