I will be 77 yrs old in less than 5 mos. For the past 6 wks I have had pain in the hips and low back and it got so bad for 3 days I could not walk. I thought it was fibro but it did not act the same way. I have tried heat, celebrex and aspercreme. I get swelling in right foot. I have stints at kidney and abdominal aorta.
Hi, thank you for providing a brief history of you. The age you mentioned and the stents you mentioned are the things to look into for any possible vascular compression in the body, which can be ruled out by simple tests. Gets assessed by a physician and possible advised diagnostic test will give a close clear picture for coming to conclusion. Doing a self-medication is never advised and if done and is not working then of course you need an expert to help you. I hope you will understand that nothing harm in meeting up a physician and take guidance. With the grace of god I wish you a good health.
