      There is a good article on the Facebook Fibromyalgia Network group specifically on hip pain. I have tried to post a link but that has gone to moderation. If you google 'pain in left hip fibromyalgia' mit is the top answer. In case you don't 'do' Facebook, the text is as follows:

      The following question was answered by Allan L. Metzger, M.D., a Rheumatologist in Los Angeles, CA.

      Hip pain in fibromyalgia is usually a right and left side phenomenon. It's a very diffuse type of pain, unlike the hip pain of arthritis that is more localized or centralized to the front groin. Non-centralized hip pain is often related to structural problems in the back that refer to the hip, inflammation at the back of the hip (bursitis), or myofascial trigger points in the hip region.

      However, if there is a change in character or a worsening of pain, especially in older fibro patients, with groin pain and referred pain traveling down to the knee, then I must exclude an incidental or isolated osteoarthritis for the hip joint. Most "hip" pain in fibromyalgia is really not due to the hip joint, but rather the soft tissue structures supporting the hip and buttocks regions. Muscles in these areas may have painful myofascial trigger points. Whether your hip pain is due to trigger points or arthritis, it should be evaluated by your doctor so that the appropriate treatments can be applied.

    I've had it for weeks too, wakes me up through the night, this morning I was up at 2:30, took painkillers then slept, occasionally, on the sofa. I saw the Rheumatoligst last week, I said I thought I needed a new hip, she touched the sore bit exactly, it's one of the fibro hotspots. I'm glad I don't need a new hip but I'm stuck with the pain. She's referred me to the pain clinic and for nerve conduction tests as my spine is bad too. Have you seen anyone about your back? Sometimes we put everything down to Fibro when it might be something else.

    take care

    enjoy the sunshine

    you just have to grit your teeth and wait for it to pass 

    thats what i do ,its just a bloody misery 

    i dont take any meds from gp 

    simply because i am very sensistive to meds 

    so theres no option but for me just to get oin with it 

    i use magneisum oil when i ache and it keeps me awake 

    iv brought a new gel to try for around the joints havnt tried it yet

    called flexiseq i havent tried it yet.

    because i am finishing up another one at the moment .

    iv got a feeling that as several people on here have said the same at the same time about increased pain . it may be linked to the weather 

    my pain changes with the weather . if its biting cold i get a aching bone pain ,with contracting clawing muscles and tendons , when its humid like it has been the last few weeks ,i get tenderness pain  i seem to feel swollen but with no signs of swelling and fatigue is also worse when the weather is warm .

      Hi tiswas; yes this is something that I have tried telling docs too....that the weather plays a Very big part in my symptoms....when Hot as we had here in Australia in  November....a Heat Wave....my muscles were Screaming in pain...and in winter, my fingers (and other body parts), also play up....I find it even extremely difficult to type (have found special Osteo gloves/mittens...with fingertips removed, that help my hands).....I'm pleased I have read your piece, as you are the first that I have read who also feels the weather has a big part to play....Bron

      Hiya Bronwyn...what part of Australia are you in...or have you already told me..mm...brain fog..I know that there are two people on here from. Oz, .who write fairly regularly..I too use those special gloves with fingertip cut out mine also have lots of little magnets in them...soo good for OA in winter...the heat/ summer is quite fine for me as I'm in Tassie and it's cooler than the mainland..but it's those wonderful hot water bottles that really help me..winter or summer..be blessed..:-) xxx
