why my hip hurts during cold weather? is it due to my hair line fractured?

When the barometer drops, as it does before it rains or snows, the fluid inside your joints swells slightly. If you have inflammation from an old injury or from arthritis, and you may have both at this point, the swelling will produce pain. This happens to me and I can always tell if its going to rain even if it is clear outside. Usually I start feeling the discomfort about 24 hours in advance of local weather. I'm amazed that there are still a lot of doctors who don't acknowledge this phenomenon. By the way, when that happens, I take an anti-inflammatory and 5 mg of codeine. Otherwise, some days I don't feel I can get out of bed.

If a person has had any kind of injury in the past,cold weather can acerbate them. I have had a fractured ankle when I was 28,I am now 56,when it gets cold,I have pain every where I have had injuries. Dislocated left shoulder,torn ligaments in left knee,and fractured left ankle. All are healed,but cold weather causes pain in those places. I use absorbine Jr. the main thing is to keep warm clothing over the area that hurts from the cold. PS if it is hurting you at night,try buying and sleeping under an electric blanket. The winter we used an electric blanket I did not have the kind of pains I would usualy have in the Winter time.

Well, i don't it is likely that your childhood injury is responsible for your current pain. If it is indeed the problem, it would have developed long ago. Oftentimes, people with arthritis complain of joint pain when it rains or other changes in the weather. Osteoarthritis is usually seen in the elderly (>50 years old) while rheumatoid arthritis can occur as early as childhood. If you are an avid athlete, repetative weight bearing and minor trauma can cause hair line fractures of the lower extremties - it is not uncommon for joggers to develop hair line fractures. I recommend you see your doctor. Based on your medical history and physical exam, it might be prudent to get an X-ray of your hip and leg - just to rule out any serious illness.

You point out it rather is a hairline fracture, meaning that's been clinically determined by ability of a physician finding at an X-ray... appropriate?? there are various varieties of hip fracture. it would desire to be in the process the neck of the femur or interior the shaft. In possibly intra-trochanteric, what ever it rather is it rather is going to be very painful, yet no longer intense sufficient to warrant surgical operation, otherwise she could be in scientific institution. Bone discomfort from fractures and the subsequent bruising might properly be undesirable, rather interior the elderly. So stable analgesia is termed for. you are able to desire to make an appointment along with your wide-unfold practitioner and that they might prescribe opiates which includes morphine or some thing like Dihydrocodeine.

When our body' receive trauma, they develop trigger points in the muscles. If not treated, they can cause pain and a shortening in the local musculature (ie. limp can develop over time). Often regular myofascial release and neuromuscular massage can help relieve the muscular pain.

Calcium supplements and glucosamine chondroitin. Aging is a process, and if the hairline fracture mended, it is not active or open any longer. What you will have is a scarline. It is denser than the surrounding tissues, and it actually will have more gravitational pull than the rest of the bone. So take more calcium (recommended dose on the bottle) and it will even out the density.

Yes,cold weather can do it Ihave the same problem but just stay well rested and if it gets any worse take it to you physician or nurse.

Check with your Dr. You may have Sciatica. I have it and it's always worse in cold weather.

it has something to do w/the barometric pressure when the temp changes the body feels it...that's why older people say they can "predict" the weather in their bones

I think thats called old age! Ha-ha J/K!
