Hello,
You have not mentioned your age but from your symptoms osteoporosis should be ruled out. Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density over time. There are several medications used to treat osteoporosis, depending on gender and severity of disease. Medications themselves can be classified as antiresorptive or bone anabolic agents.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Many thanks for the answer. I have been advised by my GP that I will need an MRI scan, I will keep you updated on the results, in respect of my age I am 58, but I expect that there is wear and tear on the right hip. But as i have recently had a gastric by pass I am concerned that the body is not absorbing calcium correctly which may agrivate the situation. However, I appriciate the time you took to answer my question.
Regards Liz
