I've had a worsening of the hip pain. All I've done so far is visit my chiropractor, and it did seem to be helping until the last week. I had just started Wellbutrin, and I guess there's a slim chance that there was a connection. I've stopped the Wellbutrin, with my doctor's approval, because it was giving me MORE anxiety and a bit of manic behavior.

Just yesterday it got to the point of very bad pain. I'm using aspirin, ice, Epsom salts bath, and since I won't be able to get any medical help until at least Monday, thinking of buying a cane just to help me get around. (I also have pain pills, but I REALLY don't want to rely on them too much.)My daughter, an acrobat/yogini/dancer, is here and being super-helpful (she suggested the Epsom salts). And helping with everything -- what a great young woman I raised.

I have Xanax and lorazepam to help with anxiety if I need...daughter is also helping me with breathing.

I'll see my chiropractor on Monday and will ask for a referral to a rheumatologist or orthopedist...and I'm supposed to see my PCP on Tuesday about the anxiety, so of course I will ask about the hip pain, too (I've not even gone there with him yet, since I thought I was getting it under control).
Boo.
