      Hi I was the same kept going back and forthto doctors it got me down cos they looked at me that I wasimagining the pain Ended up they have me too much burden I turned bright orange and became allergic to it .My advice is keep making appointments til someone hears you if need be tell them you can't take it anymore and you would like to see someone as the pain is unbearable good luck I was only referred cos my doctors gave up their practice and the new ones were a lot better at listeningxx

    Hi HOTpicks99 have you tried physiotherapy this has been my saviour I go once a week which costs me £30 but it's worth every penny I also suffer with right hip pain groin pain and sciatic like pain down the side of my leg down to my foot. Physio uses massage on pressure points which for me are around hip and bottom area although the effects are short sometimes only 2 days but worth a try hope you find something that gives you some relief
