This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Doctor,
I thought, we need to get you more updates about the condition and information of the patiences.
The Hip pain started sometimes back in 2002. The condition of hip is painful during the walk and climbing stairs. The pain is felt more before going to sleep and it is experienced more during cold season and monsoon period. She tends to limp little bit when walking, this started since a year ago. Since the pain started way back in 2002, she had hip examined by number of ortho pediatric doctors and performed number of hip X-rays. The doctors have been suggesting only hip exercise. The exercise did not help much; She has been attending number of physiotherapists also. She has been taking some pain killer medicines whenever there is severe pain. She has not taken any steroid so far. But only recently some doctors are suggesting for hip replacement surgery which we want to avoid at any cost.
She has normal and regular stool functions. I have normal and regular urine functions. Complains are none. Her sleeping is very sound but bit excessive sleep. Her other health situation is fine.
She just had a blood sample test of few vitamins and minerals if these might be important and the findings are
Glucose Random ---- 113 mg/dl
Calcium ----------9.3 mg/dl
Phosphorus 3.9
Thyroid Function test
fT3 .5.11
fT4 . 1.47
Ultra sensitive TSH 2.26
Vitamin D,25OH . 13.10
Please kindly answer to our problem and It could be only our last option.
Thank You very much.

Dear Doctor,
I have also a problem in my knee which started from heavily running exercise a year ago. I immediately stopped the exercise. The pain occurs on the right and left side of my left leg knee. Currently, I am in home rest with limited movements with wearing a knee cap. I (Ashok) am 51 years old, weigh 78 kg with height 5 feet 6inches involved in tourism trekking business. The allopathic doctors could not diagnosis what went wrong. The x ray could not even detect what went wrong, however the cartilages seems eroded a bit. I am also taking Vitamin D3 as the blood sample test detected severe deficiency of Vit D3 with 9.9 nlg. Could you please look into the matter and recommend some medicine for me as well.
I appreciate your kind help.

Sir,
Please find the answer to the questions from the post of 16th June.
1) What are the exact locations of the pain? And what's the problem there?
The exact location of the pain is at the joint of the right hip. The pain is felt around and upper portion of the thigh and also at back of the hip buttock.
2) Does the pain become better after rest or does it become better walking? Although you have answered this question but I am asking again.
It used to be painful even walking for a shorter distance. But now the pain aggravates while walking for a long distance only. However, since few months back, she started walking with limping leg , even when making for a short distance. Upon asking the reason for limping, she thinks the body system has become habituated. The MRI report does shows thinning of her joint cartilage.
The pain is felt more especially at the night time before going to sleep. But that is only is she is walking for a longer distance on the particular day. During cold weather and monsoon period it is painful.
3) Is there muscle/tendons rupture anywhere? If yes, state the location.
There seems to be no muscle or tendon rupture around the hip. The MRI report does not explain any abnormalities of the muscle or Tendons.
4) Is there any fluid collection anywhere? If yes, state the location.
The outer look of the hip does not show any sign of swollen or inflammation. However, the MRI report explains the collection of free fluid in POD. Features suggest osteoarthritis of right hip joint.
5) Can you describe the pain? stabbing, burning, shooting, dull continuous etc.
The pain is felt like stabbing kind and sometimes it is dull.
Please check below the MRI report of my wife.
