Thanks so much for the reply guys. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with a very nice lady Doctor this morning. Had blood tests and also xrays, will get the results on Friday as I needed to make a double appointment to have a biopsy on another spot that may be cancerous ( non life threatening) AGAIN! So may as well get the results then.
If this is gout Trev, I stand by the childbirth pain, only that is over and doesn't linger like this. I truly feel guilty as my poor husband suffers chronic rheumatoid arthritis and had necrosis of the hip, had hip replacement but still suffers in every other joint and I must admit I could be more sympathetic at times. I now have a much better understanding of what you guys are going through, not only so much pain but also so bloody frustrating that most of the population just don?t understand, including MD?s.

Zip, I did mention to the GP that I thought it may be gout, but funny you should say that as I said exact same thing to my husband, they will probably try and prove me wrong. I was very lucky as this woman actually listened to me, she was only marginally younger than me, usually get to see some young thing just out of college that will google!!!! She said she would not rule out gout in the foot, but says she can?t associate it with the hip. So I am crossing my fingers, bloody tight, that I haven?t got gout and a bad hip to boot. The pain is a little worse today, aching but nothing like Friday nite, that was excruciating!

MUM does NOT get sick she looks after everyone else! Even the poor old cat who suffers arthritis too, gawd bunch of geriatrics in this house even the budgie is wonky and falls of her perch!

Anyway I will let you nice blokes know the score after Friday, thanks so much for listening, all the best . Cheers Storm
