I have severe hip pain. Everything I read says to be active with RA but I am unable to walk or stand for very long. I sympathize with anyone having hip, buttock, or thigh pain. I just keep hoping...

That is where I have most of my pain. I can't even walk most times without severe pain. The doc says it is coming from my back. Just had hip X-rays. No results yet. When I have flare ups, that is what is most painful.

I've had severe hip & thigh pain.Only pain medicine works for me.

@A myRAteam Member I recently had an MRI because of the back, neck, & hip pain...my neuro doc told me it showed scoliosis moderate, I have herniations in the discs at C1 & C2 & T4, 5 & 6. Both neuro & rheumatologist said it is very common in RA pts. Just need to follow-up every year if discomfort remains the same. As long as they are not saying I need surgery I'm okay with it. Over the years of struggling with this disease I have learned to be accepting of new problems.

Yes, my Ortho thought it was my hip and I had hip inj done. After further research this year my disc is gone in my back between 3-4 and 4-5 which is putting pressure on the nerve that takes that path.
