hi,for most of this year i think,i have had back issues and right hip,plus sciatica a great combo.Any my back it may sound weird only way to explain keep dropping and the pain is off the scale,plus my right hip i can be just standing still and that drops they pain for both is awful.I am 64 active not really overweight,and i am really struggling tonight i give up how many times my back went and i could just sit down and cry with pain.I have a hip xray on friday i finally went to the doctors last week,i have some pills from the doctor but had not been touching the pain and painkillers eating like sweets and not helping plus for my back have a physio session in 4 weeks.Any ideas on what if anything i can take?nights are bad cannot sleep,last month 4 nights without any sleep,sat here with a hot water bottle on my hip.many thanks.

Back to your GP and you need stronger pain relief with anti inflammatory meds also muscle relaxant at night. When you have a full diagnosis it can all be reviewed.

Agree with tanith, you have to keep on ay your GP until they take you seriously. I hope you can get some sleep tonight.
